How to Make The Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies Ever 3 Ingred

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  4. Use a fork to flatten each cookie slightly, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  6. Immediately after removing from the oven, gently drop the baking sheet onto your countertop from a low height to release air bubbles and create a chewier texture. (Be careful not to drop it too hard!)
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
