Three-ingredient peanut butter cookies

Ingredients:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Stir together until well combined and a thick dough forms.
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Use a fork to gently flatten each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your delicious three-ingredient peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
These cookies are quick and easy to make, with a wonderfully chewy texture and rich peanut butter flavor. They’re perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings in a pinch, and they’re sure to be a hit with friends and family alike!

1. Can I use a different type of sugar in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar or coconut sugar. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the cookies.

2. Can I use natural peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?

Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but make sure to stir it well before using as natural peanut butter tends to separate. The texture of the cookies might be slightly different, but they will still taste delicious.

3. How should I store these peanut butter cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container.

4. Can I add mix-ins to these cookies?

Absolutely! Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking to customize your cookies.

5. Are these cookies gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as it doesn’t contain any flour. Just make sure your peanut butter and any mix-ins you use are also gluten-free.
