Description
These 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are quick, flourless, and full of classic peanut butter flavor. Perfect for a fast dessert or gluten-free treat.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Use an electric mixer or stir by hand until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Shape the dough: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Create the classic criss-cross: Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, then rotate the fork and press again to create a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers look set.
- Cool the cookies: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter as desired.
Cookies will firm up as they cool—avoid overbaking.
Add chocolate chips or a pinch of sea salt for variations.
