Cooking Instructions for 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Gather the Ingredients
Place the peanut butter, sugar, and egg on your counter. Having everything ready makes the baking process easier and faster.
Combine the Ingredients
Add peanut butter, sugar, and egg to a large mixing bowl. Stir well until a smooth and thick cookie dough forms.
Mix Until Smooth
Continue mixing for another minute. Make sure the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the dough for consistent texture.
Shape the Dough
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each portion into small balls using your hands.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between them because they spread slightly while baking.
Create the Classic Pattern
Use a fork to gently press each cookie. Press once vertically and once horizontally to create the signature crisscross design.
Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about ten minutes until the edges become lightly golden.
Cool the Cookies
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cookies rest for five minutes before moving them.
Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before serving for the best texture and flavor.
