- Total Time: 32 minutes
- Yield: 24 cookies 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This 3 ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe is a quick and easy solution for sweet cravings, consistently delivering golden, chewy perfection. It’s a foolproof, family-friendly dessert perfect for busy parents.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy, natural unsweetened or classic
- 0.5 cup granulated white sugar, or brown sugar for chewier texture
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt, optional (if using unsalted peanut butter)
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
- Prep Oven & Pan: Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line a standard 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Mix The Magic: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup peanut butter, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Stir until everything is well combined and forms a thick, uniform dough.
- Roll & Shape: Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each cookie with the tines of a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake To Golden Perfection: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are just set.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If dough is sticky, chill for 10 minutes. Dough can be prepared, rolled, and chilled for up to 3 days before baking. Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. For dietary adjustments, reduce sugar or use substitutes, swap peanut butter for SunButter (nut-free), or use a flax egg (vegan).
