Easy 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies that are soft, chewy and dense. All you need are creamy peanut butter, an egg, some sugar and 15 minutes!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar , plus more for rolling
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat and set aside. Mix together the peanut butter, sugar and egg in a medium bowl. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate for 10-20 minutes.
- Roll dough into 12 (1″) balls (I like to use a medium cookie scoop) and drop into the sugar. Roll in sugar and then place onto prepared baking sheet. Press down with a fork creating a cross.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until very lightly browned on the bottoms. Remove from oven and let rest on pan for 2 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool.
