Description

Deliciously simple peanut butter cookies made with just three ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar for added richness)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and the egg until smooth.
  3. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  4. Flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • These cookies will be soft in the center; do not overbake.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
