3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
SERVES 12 , 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (any kind)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, large
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350.2
Combine the three ingredients, stirring until well blended.3
If using the chocolate chips, stir in now.4
Form dough into small balls, using about a tablespoon of dough.5
Place 12 balls on a cookie sheet, evenly spaced. (I like to line my cookie sheets with parchment paper) Using a fork, press the tines across the ball to flatten and make a criss-cross pattern.6
Bake about 6-8 minutes, or until lightly browned.7
Remove cookie sheet from oven and let sit for a couple of minutes before removing the cookies. They are very delicate when hot and will crumble if you try to remove them too soon.8
Set cookies on rack to cool.

no stars here because i added so much. i added 1.5 c fresh medium unsweetened coconut, almost 1 c mixture of sugars ( processed organic white and unprocessed organic brown) some spices (including vanilla extract that i will never get again), etc. and i've put a lot of the dough in the freezer because for as small as my refrigerator/freezer is, my oven is even smaller. this is soooooooo good - much better than usual processed cookies! i'm learning how to bake again (after so long of not doing how to do anything but sleeping and working). i am not a baker - but i think 81 year old mum might need to learn how to make these. they're excellent! thank you for posting!

I've made these cookies I don't know how many times and I love them. A real life-saver when I've been low on ingedients. I usually will add a touch of vanilla as well and I do like to add the chips if I have them.

Easy to make and really tasty! I tried honey instead of sugar (half cup only) and it turned out great. Just what I was looking for!!
Thanks
