Peanut Butter Cookies
This 3-ingredient recipe uses peanut butter, sugar, and an egg to create pure ambrosia in cookie form. My mom taught me this recipe many years ago, but I have seen similar versions on the web. Most “simple” peanut butter cookie recipes use at least 5 or 6 ingredients, but only three are necessary for greatness. A word of advice: Be careful not to over brown the cookies. They will change color very little (if at all) during the baking process.
Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes about 24 cookies
Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter1 cup sugar
1 egg
Mix all ingredients until well incorporated.
Using a cookie scoop, or a tablespoon, roll portions of the dough in your hands to form spheres the size of gum balls. Place dough spheres onto a lightly greased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
Use the end of a fork to create indentions (one horizontal, one vertical) in order to flatten the cookie to approximately 1cm/.5 inch. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 for 10 minutes. The cookies will look under cooked when you pull them from the oven, but they will cool to doneness. Cool for at least 5 minutes then enjoy.
