Description

Deliciously simple peanut butter cookies made with just three ingredients, perfect for when you want a quick, nostalgic, and satisfying treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter, sugar, and egg until smooth and well blended.
  3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place evenly on the baking sheet.
  4. Press each dough ball flat with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
  6. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Serve warm or once fully cooled, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chill the dough if it feels too sticky before baking.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
