3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies recipe uses equal parts creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar, combined with a single egg to bind the dough. After mixing the ingredients to a smooth consistency, the dough is portioned into tablespoon-sized balls and flattened with a fork for the characteristic peanut butter cookie appearance. Baking at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes yields cookies that have slightly golden edges and a chewy texture. The cookies don’t spread during baking, allowing them to be placed close together on the baking sheet to speed up the process.
The result is a sweet and nutty cookie with a tender but firm bite that highlights the peanut butter flavor without additional ingredients.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days or frozen for longer storage, making them convenient for preparing ahead or gifting.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, and egg together using an electric mixer or spatula. Mix until creamy and smooth.
- Scoop the cookie dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon per cookie, and place on prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the back of a fork, making a criss-cross pattern. The cookies don’t spread in the oven, so you can put them close together on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden. Don’t over bake. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- These cookies freeze well and can be kept frozen for up to 3 months for longer storage.
