3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
These classic 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies are the easiest cookie recipe you'll ever make! They're soft, chewy and absolutely delicious.
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup regular peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- Flaked sea salt for topping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and mix to combine using a spatula or hand mixer.
- Using a Tablespoon scoop the dough and roll into balls placing 2-inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Flatten each dough ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden brown around the edges and the bottom.
- Remove and immediately sprinkle with flaked sea salt, if using. Let cookies cool and few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely
Notes
- Peanut-free: If you have a peanut allergy or just aren't a fan you could use almond butter or cashew butter instead. Just note that the cookies could result with a different texture depending on the consistency of the nut butter you use.
- Storage: Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper for up to 3 months. If they lose their crispness, reheat in a 300°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
