Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Cream the peanut butter and sugar in a bowl. Do not use a hand mixer.
Step 3: Beat in the baking powder.
Step 4: Add the egg, and mix until it is all well combined.
Step 5: The dough will be sticky, so be prepared to get your hands messy. Roll some dough into a ball. The smaller the cookies are, the better they hold together.
Step 6: Roll the ball into sugar.
Step 7: Line a baking sheet, covered in parchment paper, with sugary balls of dough.
Step 8: Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. You will know the cookies are done when they feel firm, but still a little soft.
Step 9: Take the tray out of the oven, and let the cookies rest for at least 5 minutes.
Step 10: Carefully transfer them onto a cooling rack.
Step 11: After 10 minutes or so, they will harden, and be glistening with sugar.
