Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion the dough into 12 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly using the back of a fork to create a crosshatch pattern. Dip the fork in a bit of sugar if it sticks to the dough.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies!
