3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

June 10, 2013 By denise 4 Comments

Sunday was a relaxing day for me. After spending two days at the BlogHer Food conference in Austin (post on conference coming soon!) I was truly exhausted and just wanted to veg out.

Then I opened my swag bag and saw the organic sugar from Wholesome Sweeteners in there. And my sweet tooth shouted so off I went to make something to settle her down.

This recipe for three-ingredient peanut butter cookies was in our internal work newsletter. It’s apparently been around for ages but I had never seen it. The minute I saw it I knew I wanted to make this recipe. The fewer ingredients for me the better I like it.

This 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie is now on my short list of sweets to make when I don’t want a whole lot of something but want it quick. These definitely had a sweet kick to them but they were scrumptious. They don’t have the traditional feel of a sugar cookie but they’ll satisfy your craving.

3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sugar or regular white sugar, plus extra for topping
1 egg

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop cookie dough on a cookie sheet placed about an inch apart. You will need two cookie sheets for this recipe.

Add about 2 Tbsp of sugar to a small bowl. Dip a fork in the sugar then press the fork into the cookie dough to spread it. Repeat to make a crisscross pattern.

Place in the oven and bake for 8-11 minutes. The cookies will need to cool on the cookie sheet to set. I would leave them there for 10-15 minutes. Don’t be alarmed – they may seem as they are not ready but they will set.

Makes around 18 cookies.

Note: I use the OXO Good Grips Medium Cookie Scoop. It’s my favorite scoop and I always use it when baking cookies or cupcakes. (affiliate link)

    Peanut butter cookies are a favorite of mine. Do you know if you can use natural peanut butter, the kind that separates if not refrigerated, in this recipe?

      Hi Christine, I'm not sure about that peanut butter. I haven't used it before. Sorry.

        No worries. I may give it a shot, since that's what I have in the pantry at the moment.
