Fast, cheap and easy! I was making peanut butter cookies the hard way, had a long talk with Gramma and she scolded me in her way and said "Dear, this is all you need, and here's what you do...." After making her cookies a called to say how great they were, all she said was "I told you so!". So easy my kids make them by themselves now (with a little supervision) !

SERVES 8 -12 , 24 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, can also use almond butter for peanut free zones)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup sugar

Directions

They were o.k. They were of course easy, but they were too sweet and somewhat crumbly.

    I've been making these for years using a store brand all natural (just peanuts and salt) peanut butter. They are wonderful for someone on a gluten-free diet. I usually roll the dough into 2 logs about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I wrap them in foil and freeze them. When it's time to bake, I let a roll of dough thaw while the oven pre-heats. I slice the dough about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick using a wavy edged thing that's intended to cut cheese or cucumbers. I bake them on cookie sheets, lined with foil. when they are done, I just slide the foil onto a cooling rack. When the cookies are completely cooled, I gently remove them from the foil.

    These are really good the only thing I did was I sprayed pam on my hands to roll the cookies and before I pressed them out I stuck some semi sweet chocolate chips in each cookie
