Easy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe Only With 3 Ingredients!!
These cookies are a lifesaver when you need a quick dessert fix or when unexpected guests arrive. Made with pantry staples that you likely already have, this recipe combines peanut butter, sugar, and an egg to create a batch of cookies that are crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside. Ready in under 20 minutes from start to finish, these cookies are the epitome of convenience and taste.
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and form a smooth dough.
- Form Cookies:
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten the Cookies:
Use a fork to flatten each ball of dough, pressing down to create a criss-cross pattern on the top of each cookie.
- Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the bottoms are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
Enjoy your freshly baked peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
- For a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips or sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor twist.
- If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls.
- You can freeze the dough balls for later. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
