Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, take a small oven-safe skillet and lightly grease it with a dab of oil to prevent sticking. This will help create crisp, golden edges on your cookie.
2. 2.
   In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter and 1/4 cup of honey. Use a spatula to blend them together until smooth and glossy. The honey will add sweetness and help bind the mixture without needing additional sugar or eggs.
3. 3.
   To the peanut butter mixture, add 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookie tough.
4. 4.
   Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet using the back of a spoon or a spatula. Smooth out the surface to ensure even cooking. Ensure the layer is even for consistent texture throughout; a thicker center could lead to uneven baking.
5. 5.
   Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on the edges; you’ll know it's done when they turn golden brown and the center appears slightly puffed. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before enjoying. This cooling time helps the cookie set and can prevent a brittle texture.
