3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg

Method

  1. Collect the required ingredients. Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to preheat.
  2. Combine the peanut butter, white sugar, and egg in a bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend them into a smooth, creamy dough.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  4. Press down on each ball with a fork to flatten it, creating a criss-cross design. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the edges feel firm. Let them sit on the sheet for a short time before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  5. Serve and enjoy your cookies.
