3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The recipe combines creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg without additional flour or leaveners. Mixing these ingredients results in a thick dough that is easy to portion and shape. Pressing the dough flat with fork tines creates textured surfaces that help the cookies bake evenly and develop edges with mild crispness. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around 10-12 minutes yields cookies with lightly browned exteriors while maintaining chewiness inside.
These cookies are suited to peanut butter lovers who want a simple and fast recipe without complicated preparation or specialized ingredients. They can be served on their own or paired with milk or coffee. The absence of flour means the cookies rely on the peanut butter for structure and moisture.
Natural peanut butter is not recommended as the fat content and oil can make the dough too oily and affect texture. For variety, chocolate chips or other mix-ins can be incorporated to add sweetness or texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar and egg. Mix until well combined. Scoop into 1 Tbsp balls and drop onto cookie sheet.
- Using the tines of a fork, flatten cookie dough with criss-cross of fork tines.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
Notes
- Avoid using natural peanut butter as it may result in oily dough and a compromised texture.
- Press cookies flat with a fork to ensure even baking and develop the traditional criss-cross pattern.
- Consider adding chocolate chips for a variation and extra sweetness.
