Description
Experience the magic of a flourless recipe that produces exceptionally chewy peanut butter cookies using just three basic ingredients. These simple treats are perfect for busy bakers who want a reliable, soft-textured cookie that remains fresh in the jar for a full week.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg.
- Stir the ingredients together vigorously until a thick, uniform dough forms.
- Roll the dough into one-inch balls or use a cookie scoop to portion them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Press the back of a fork into each ball, then rotate and press again to create a classic cross-hatch pattern.
- Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are just set, then let them rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To ensure the best results, use room-temperature ingredients so the dough binds together quickly and smoothly. If you find the fork is sticking to the dough while making the cross-hatch pattern, simply dip the tines into a small bowl of extra sugar between cookies.
