These cookies are incredibly easy to make, requiring only three ingredients and minimal effort. They’re naturally gluten-free and perfect for a quick treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, your preference)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Flatten and Pattern (Optional): Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake: Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!
