4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

I love a quick and easy dessert recipe like these Peanut Butter Cookies. They’re not only delicious, but they’re pretty much no-fail. Anyone can make them, including kids. They’re just that easy.

They only require four simple ingredients and they’re gluten-free! (As long as you use gluten-free peanut butter).

If you’re more of a chocolate fan, then be sure to check out my recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Happy baking friends!

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream peanut butter and sugar until fluffy.

Add egg and vanilla. Beat well.

Spoon onto baking sheet and press with fork.

    When I was buying jumbo eggs I found these cookies to have a better texture with more egg. So use less peanut butter and sugar per regular large egg. Taking it further, I always use less sugar in baking once I have tried the recipe. And I often add a couple TB oat or WW flour (I grind the old fashioned oats in a mini-food processor and keep it on hand to add to many items). Then add some mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough. Let set a few minutes to firm up enough to make into balls. Excellent cookie that was rated best by a 90+ year old when I was trying to find the ideal peanut butter cookie. (I use chunky PB too).

    I have been using this recipe for years, they are the best peanut butter cookies ever. They are great for people that can't have gluten.
