Traditional peanut butter cookies have flour and need adapting. But these cookies only have 3 ingredients, and none of them are flour.1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, but this is probably one instance in which creamy would be better)
1 egg
Mix all ingredients. Roll into 1-inch balls (or use a 1-inch cookie scoop) and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork (or the palm of your hand). Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
Note: do not bake until the cookies start to brown. My husband did this and we essentially ended up with peanut butter hockey pucks. 8 minutes is really all you need for a soft and chewy cookie.
As you can see from the photo, some of my cookies have brown dots. I doubled the batch and then add a few handfuls of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate chips to the second half of the dough.
These cookies aren't exactly mind-blowing, but they definitely get the job done if you're in the mood for a cookie and don't feel like doing math and flour substitutions.
