Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 large egg to large mixing bowl. Stir ingredients together until fully combined.
Once ingredients are combined, place bowl in refrigerator and chill dough 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove chilled dough from refrigerator. Use cookie scoop with release handle to portion dough into individual balls. Place cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each dough ball. Repeat until all dough has been portioned onto baking sheet.
Gently press tines of fork into top of cookie dough ball, creating straight lines on top of slightly flattened dough. Lift and rotate fork, then gently press tines into dough again, creating crosshatch effect. Repeat with remaining cookie dough balls.
Place baking sheet in preheated oven. Bake cookies until edges of cookies are firm and centers are set, approximately 5 to 10 minutes depending on size of cookies.
When cookies are ready, carefully remove baking sheet from oven and set aside. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, transfer cookies from baking sheet to wire cooling rack. Let cookies rest until completely cool, then serve as desired.
