🍪 EASY 1-2-3 PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

(Also known as “3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies”)
Crispy on the edges, chewy in the center, and incredibly simple.

🧈 INGREDIENTS (Makes 12–16 cookies)

You only need 3 ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter (creamy works best)
1 cup sugar (granulated)
1 large egg

That’s it!

🔪 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix the Dough

In a medium bowl, stir together:

Peanut butter
Sugar
Egg

Mix until smooth and fully combined.
The dough will be thick—this is normal.

2. Shape the Cookies

Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough.
Roll into a ball.
Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Use a fork to press a crosshatch pattern on top (the classic peanut butter cookie look).

3. Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 9–12 minutes.
Remove when edges are lightly set but centers look soft.
Let cool 5 minutes before moving—they firm up as they cool.

⭐ TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Don’t overbake — they dry out quickly.
If dough is too soft, chill 10 minutes before rolling.
For a chewier cookie, use brown sugar instead of white (or half and half).
Natural peanut butter works but may make cookies crumbly—stir well.

🍫 OPTIONAL ADD-INS (Still Easy!)

Add ½ cup of any of these:

Or sprinkle the tops with a little sea salt before baking.
