3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The recipe begins by mixing peanut butter, white sugar, and egg until smooth, forming a straightforward cookie dough with minimal ingredients and effort. The dough is portioned into tablespoons and optionally rolled in sugar for a slightly textured crust before flattening with a fork to create a classic ridged pattern. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes develops a lightly browned bottom and edges, ensuring the cookies stay soft in the center.
This simplicity highlights the peanut butter’s natural flavor and yields a cookie that is quick to prepare and bake. The fork pattern helps even baking and adds a distinctive look. Care is taken not to overbake to preserve tenderness. Cooling shortly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack completes the process.
These cookies are convenient for those seeking a quick peanut butter cookie with minimal ingredients and time, suitable for casual snacking or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix together the peanut butter, white sugar and egg until smooth.
- Form dough into heaping tablespoons (about 3/4 inch). Then roll the dough ball in a small bowl of sugar, if desired, to coat the outside. Place on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart, and then use a fork to flatten and form a cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cookies are just slightly browned on the bottom. Be careful not to over-bake. Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
