3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

These 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are a tiny triumph of simplicity, delivering a comforting peanut aroma with a tender, chewy center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the sugar, peanut butter, and egg in a medium mixing bowl and stir until smooth.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
  4. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Press down on each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For consistent results, measure peanut butter by spooning it into the cup and leveling. If the dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes to make rolling easier. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
