Now, let’s get into today’s star recipe: 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies!
Easy & Affordable 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
This recipe is as simple as it gets—just three ingredients, no special equipment needed, and no chilling time required. Plus, it’s gluten-free and can be made with any type of peanut butter.
Ingredients (Makes about 12 cookies):
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/2 cup sugar (white or brown)
1 egg
Total Estimated Cost: Around $2.25 for a batch of cookies!
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the ingredients – In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, sugar, and egg until fully combined.
Shape the cookies – Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
Cool & enjoy! Let them cool for a few minutes before digging in—they’ll firm up as they cool.
