Instructions
Method: 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to bake cookies evenly and achieve a golden brown color.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and the large egg. Blend with a fork or whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork and create a criss-cross pattern on top to give a classic look and help bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. They will be soft but firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy once cooled.
