These 3-Ingredient Cookies are perfect for when you’re short on time but want something sweet and satisfying! With just peanut butter, sugar, and an egg, you can whip up a batch of soft, chewy cookies in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and the egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Form the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or sprinkle sea salt on top before baking.
- Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter as a substitute for peanut butter to accommodate allergies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
