Peanut Butter – 1 cup (creamy or crunchy, depending on your preference)
Granulated Sugar – 1 cup
Egg – 1 large
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet to ensure easy cleanup.
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until everything is well blended and forms a smooth dough.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop out small portions of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches of space between each.
Create the Pattern: Using a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten it slightly and create the signature crisscross pattern.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Enjoy: Your three-ingredient peanut butter cookies are ready to be devoured!
Notes
Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, make sure the egg and peanut butter are at room temperature. This helps the dough mix more evenly.
Consistency Matters: If the dough feels too sticky, pop it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping the cookies.
Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop or measure out the dough to ensure the cookies bake evenly.
Storage Tip: These cookies store beautifully. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
