How to Make Easy and Tasty Peanut Butter Cookies with 3 Ingredients!

A friend once shared a great secret with me that I love to pass on! You can make terrific tasting peanut butter cookies with only three ingredients! They aren't exactly like your mother's cookies, but are a chewy alternative that is less mess and may be better for you!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup of peanut butter (smooth or chunky -- choose your favorite)
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 egg
• A medium size mixing bowl
• A baking sheet
• Baking spray for baking sheet

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Call the kids over because this one is simple and quick! They will love to help!

2. Mix on cup of peanut butter, one egg, and one cup of sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir well until the peanut butter, sugar, and egg are combined thouroughly.

3. Drop rounded balls of the mixture onto the baking sheet. Flatten the cookies out with a fork if you want that criss-cross pattern that peanut butter cookies are known for! Be sure to spray the baking sheet with a cooking or baking spray if you need.

Tips & Warnings

• Smaller cookies will tend to stay together easier. Remember, the flour isn't in this to act as a glue!
• Let the cookies cool completely before removing them. Again, the glue!
• Try healthier versions by adding natural peanut butter, sugar substitute for baking, and egg substitute!
• This recipe makes about a dozen medium sized cookies so it's easy to double or triple -- half the recipe for a quick late night snack for yourself!
• The sugar and peanut butter can scorch quickly. You may have to experiment to find the best time, temperature, and oven placement for your cookies.
• Humidity loves these cookies as well. Store in an air tight container if not serving right away.
• Have milk ready. Nothing is worse than great homemade cookies without milk!
