You probably didn't know it was so easy to make peanut butter cookies. Even more so that you likely have all 3 ingredients at any given moment.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix peanut butter, sugar, and egg together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet; flatten each with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
NOTES
- optional 1 tsp vanilla
It is also possible to reduce the amount of sugar. Try this!
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup white sugar (brown sugar is also good and gives it some kick)
- 1 egg
This makes about 6 large cookies. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.
