3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The simplicity of this recipe lies in the use of peanut butter, sugar, and an egg to form the cookie dough, with vanilla optional for added aroma. The dough is portioned into one-inch balls and pressed with a fork to create the characteristic crosshatch. Baking at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes results in lightly golden cookies with edges that crisp slightly while the center stays tender.
You can adjust the baking time to achieve your preferred texture, from softer to crunchier. These cookies require no chilling, making them convenient for quick preparation. The natural richness of peanut butter dominates the flavor profile, and the granular sugar adds subtle sweetness and texture.
They are suitable for small batches or can be doubled and tripled for larger groups. Cooling before handling helps cookies firm up for easy removal from the baking sheet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and use a fork to smash them, creating a cross-hatch (#) sign with the fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust baking time for softer or crunchier cookies according to preference.
- Doubling or tripling the ingredients allows for making more cookies at once.
