Healthy Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The cookie dough is composed of smooth or chunky peanut butter, organic coconut sugar, and an egg to bind the ingredients. After mixing until combined, dough balls are shaped and pressed with a fork to create the classic crosshatch pattern. Baking at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes yields cookies with a tender, slightly chewy center typical of peanut butter cookies. The absence of flour and leaveners gives them a dense texture, showcasing the peanut butter flavor prominently.
These cookies work well as a quick homemade snack or light dessert, requiring minimal ingredients and preparation. They pair nicely with a glass of milk or tea and can be stored for several days at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth or chunky (be sure to stir it well before scooping it out, natural, unsweetened
- 1 cup coconut sugar organic
- 1 egg vegans: substitute flax egg, large
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and beat until the cookie dough comes together.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to place 1-inch or larger balls of dough onto a lined or non-stick cookie sheet. Use a fork to press a criss-cross pattern onto the top of the cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies sit for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
