I was looking for a new kind of peanut butter cookie and I ran across this one. I really didn't think that only using 4 ingredients would work! (Especially with no flour!)
They were so easy and they tasted really good! I was very impressed and my kids were in heaven!
Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy (I used Creamy JIF)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Using a hand or stand mixer, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla on low speed until well combined. (Do not over mix!)
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto the baking sheet.
Flatten the dough balls with a fork, making a cross pattern on the cookies.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they are golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to rest on the counter for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: About 10 minutes

I have made these before. It's the recipe that used to be printed on the labels of Skippy peanut butter. They are good, my go-to recipe if I ever need cookies in a pinch and don't have time to make my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe which has more ingredients and is a bit more involved. =)
ReplyDeleteCookies with 4 ingredients sounds too good to be true! Can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteIt actually works wonderfully well with splenda instead of the sugar, too. It's my "go-to" sugar free treat.
ReplyDeleteI've been making these cookies for years and they are DELICIOUS!!! I use Splenda instead of sugar to lower the carbs. My Mom makes them this way and she had the hardest time believing that you could make cookies like this without flour.
ReplyDeletehow is this even possible??
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! I've made them many times. I've also done Peanut Butter AND Jelly cookies by adding a teaspoon of jelly to the little crosspattern hole. Super yummy that way too =)
ReplyDeleteI love these. I also like to do half brown sugar and half reg sugar. Plus, I always add chocolate chips:)
ReplyDeleteSo simple, cool. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love how simple these are! Cannot wait to taste test this recipe for myself! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! About how many cookies does this recipe yield?
