3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies


3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes about a dozen cookies, depending on size

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter (You can also use crunchy peanut butter)
  • 1 cup sugar, plus about 1/4 cup sugar additional set aside in a bowl
  • 1 large egg

1. Mix the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar and 1 egg in a bowl until combined well. Using a spoon or scoop, portion into about 1″ rounds. Roll lightly in the sugar you set aside. Place on a cookie sheet and use a fork to press a cross design into the dough.

2. Bake in a 350-f oven for about 10 minutes, checking a few minutes early for browning. Let cool a few minutes then transfer to a plate.

  1. I make these at least once a week for my Hubby. The only thing I do different is use Splenda in place of the sugar.

  2. We totally made these when I was a kid and called them railroad tracks cookies because of the way they look on top. I know my little ones would love these, so this is a great reminder that we should make some!

  3. Wow, only 3 ingredients kinda blows my mind. Thanks for sharing what looks like a recipe my 12 year old daughter will love making.

  4. Hi Ali,

  5. I love this recipe! I have been contemplating making flourless peanut butter cookies sometime soon. I am trying to cut down on the wheat that I consume. Thanks for sharing at last week's Marvelous Mondays party! I will be featuring this at tonight's party.

    Have a fabulous weekend!
