🍪 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
If you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to deal with mixers, fancy ingredients, or any stress — this is your sign. These cookies are the lazy baker’s dream come true: no flour, no butter, no chill time. Just 3 basic ingredients, 10 minutes, and a fork. That’s it. 🙌
Got 10 minutes, a jar of peanut butter, and a sweet tooth you can’t ignore? You’re about to become everyone’s favorite cookie wizard 🍪✨

- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy – your call!)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until fully blended and smooth.
- Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Use a fork to gently press down in a criss-cross pattern on each cookie.

đź’ˇ Tips & Variations:
