Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
A dead simple cookie recipe using three ingredients, which can be used as a base for any number of other cookies.
Equipment
- Cookie Sheet
- Mixing Bowl
- Fork
- Measuring Cups
- Silicone Baking Mat
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Peanut Butter Any kind will work; I use honey PB for extra sweet cookies.
- ¾ Cup Brown Sugar White sugar also works, but brown sugar holds moisture better.
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Mix together the ingredients until fully combined. This is easy to do by hand with a fork, or you can use a spoon or a rubber spatula, it all works.
- Roll dough into 1" balls. I use a cookie scoop, but this can be done with a spoon or even by hand. If they're too soft and sticky, toss the dough in the fridge for 2-3 minutes before rolling.
- Flatten each ball and press a fork into it for a criss-cross effect.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes at 350°F.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. They won't look done, they'll be extremely soft, but they set as they cool. After those 2-3 minutes, you can carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to cool further.
