Ingredients for 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 1/2 cup packed brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
How to Make 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Stir in chocolate chips (if using).
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Use a fork to flatten each ball, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will be soft when warm, so be patient!
- Enjoy your delicious and easy peanut butter cookies!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
