Easy 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

 

This is a great quick and easy cookie recipe!  It’s kid friendly so they can help with this one (an adult should always supervise when using a mixer).  Bonus this recipe is gluten free and you probably have what you need in the cupboard right now to make these.  This fact also makes it a super life saver for those unexpected visitors so you can offer them a homemade treat!

I love peanut butter cookies but I never take the time to make them because it’s just not one of those cookies that I want to put the work into.  However these taste just like the ones with all the flour and baking soda and salt and every other ingredient that you just simply don’t need!  These guys come together in a matter of minutes… the longest time is waiting for the oven to preheat!  You will have these cookies ready to go in the oven by the time it is preheated.  I am not one for long introductions as I usually skip them and get right to the recipe because..well, if you’re like me and you’re searching for something to make you’re either hungry and ready to get baking or waning to get to the store to make sure you have all the ingredients! So lets get baking.

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Prep Time: 5m
  • Cook Time: 10m
  • Total Time: 15m
  • Yield: 1 1/2 Dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup Sugar + extra for rolling cookies in
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Stir together all three ingredients ( I like to use a mixer to really make sure the sugar is well mixed in) until well combined
  4. Roll cookies into a ball ( using a cookie scoop makes this easier)
  5. Roll each cookie into extra sugar, then place on cookie sheet and press with a fork once vertically and once horizontally to flatten and create traditional pb cookie pattern.
  6. Bake at 350° for 8-10 min or until set.
  7. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 min then cool completely to wire rack. Cookies will be firm once cooled completely but should be set when they come out of the oven
