      3 ingredient peanut butter cookies

      Ingredients:

      • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy – your call!)
      • 1 cup granulated sugar
      • 1 large egg

      Instructions:

      1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
      2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until fully blended and smooth.
      3. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
      4. Use a fork to gently press down in a criss-cross pattern on each cookie.
      5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are set and tops look slightly cracked.
      6. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

      Perfect for after-school snacks, midnight cravings, or impressing people into thinking you’re a domestic wizard.✨


      đź’ˇ Tips & Variations:

      • Add ½ tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of salt for extra depth.
      • Use brown sugar instead of white for a richer, chewier cookie.
      • For a twist, press a chocolate kiss in the center right after baking!

      đź’ˇFun Fact: This OG 3-ingredient cookie recipe went viral in the 1930s during the Great Depression because it was cheap, easy, and used pantry staple

      ❓FAQ

      Q: Can I use natural peanut butter?
      A: Yes, but stir it well! Natural peanut butter can be runnier and may make the cookies spread more.

      Q: Can I freeze the dough?
      A: Absolutely—scoop into balls, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
