Baking Note: Feel free to add a teaspoon of vanilla, an
additional egg (for a gooier cookie*), a pinch of sea salt or a handful
of chocolate chips, the cookies are delicious as written or with the
extra ingredients!
Old Fashioned 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Yield: 18 cookies
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees. Stir the ingredients together until smooth.
Scoop onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. (Roll into 1" balls
with your hands, if you do not have a scoop.) Press down with the back
of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction, to form the
criss cross pattern on top.
These cookies will not
spread at all. You can bake the full recipe on a single tray, if you
would like. Bake for 12 minutes and then let cool on the tray for 1-2
minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an
airtight container. Enjoy!
* If you choose to add an
extra egg, simply scoop the finished cookie dough onto the baking tray.
It will not be firm enough to roll into balls or press with a criss
cross pattern. The cookies will be puffier straight out of the oven and
then will settle a bit as they cool.
