Best Darn Peanut Butter Cookies – 4 Ingredients!

Posted byWhoopsie Daisy HostessPosted inRecipesTags:, ,

I am a sucker for a peanut butter cookie and this recipe is so easy and sooooo good! These cookies are perfectly soft, peanut buttery, and the ultimate combo of sweet and salty. And to boot, they are gluten free! I honestly don’t really care about that, but some people do. Just thinking of y’all. Three words: MAKE. THESE. TODAY.

RECIPE

  • 1 cup sugar – You can use white or brown sugar or a combination of both.
  • 1 cup peanut butter – I prefer smooth, but chunky will work too!
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional (But not in my house!) – 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease, then set aside.
  • Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a stand mixer or hand mixer to thoroughly combine. Batter might be a little crumbly – that’s okay.
  • Scoop out dough in tablespoon amounts and roll it between your hands. Place cookie ball on prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, gently press a criss-cross pattern in the dough. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. 
  • Bake cookies for about 10 to 12 minutes and let rest on the baking sheet for another 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. ENJOY!

Be Blessed,
