Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, egg, sugar, baking soda, a pinch of salt, vanilla, molasses (optional), and cinnamon (optional) together until blended and scoopable.
Scoop or roll into 1-inch balls and place two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press the mounds down with the back of a spoon or the tines of a fork to flatten them into cookies.
Bake until the outer edges turn light brown and the tops look dry, for 8 to 11 minutes.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet, without moving them, for 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. (The cookies will firm up as they cool).
