3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies 🍪
Servings: About 12 cookies
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined. The dough will be thick.
- Shape the Cookies
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Create the Criss-Cross Pattern
- Using a fork, press down on each dough ball to create a criss-cross pattern on top. This not only gives them the classic look but also helps them bake evenly.
- Bake
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Cool and Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with peanut butter flavor—perfect for a quick treat with minimal ingredients! Enjoy!
