Chewy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
These Chewy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are quick and easy to make, requiring only peanut butter, sugar, and an egg.
Equipment
- oven
- baking sheets
- parchment paper
- Spatula
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter well-stirred if using natural peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 350℉. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Place 1 cup smooth peanut butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg in a large bowl. Mix with a flexible spatula until well-combined.
- Scoop the dough out into 24 (level 1-tablespoon) portions. Roll into balls. Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheets, 12 per sheet. Flatten each dough ball with a fork until about 2 inches wide and ¼-inch thick, creating a crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets between racks and from front to back. Bake until the centers are set, the cookies are lightly puffed, and the edges are firm, 5 to 7 minutes more. Let cool completely on the baking sheets, about 30 minutes. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Notes
The dough can be made ahead and frozen until you’re ready to bake. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
