Peanut Butter Cookies


Super easy 3 ingredients peanut butter cookies which from start to finish takes less than an hour to make.

The easiest cookies you will ever make so if you're not a baker this is perfect!


Ingredients:

250g Peanut Butter
1 Egg
100g Sugar

Utensils:

Mixing Bowl
Scales
Electric Whisk
Spoon
Fork
Flat Baking Trays
Baking Paper

Oven 180°C
160°C fan

Baking time: 8-10 minutes

Makes 25 cookies

Method:


Just mix all your ingredients together with you electric whisk until it is all combined.



Roll the dough into a ball with your hands and place them on your baking tray.


Using a fork press down on the ball then again at a 90°C angle.

This will help the cookies bake more evenly.


Bake for 8-10 minutes until the bottom of the cookies are golden.


Such an easy bake - you can use any peanut butter - natural with no added ingredients or the cheap one that has added sugar and oil. We had this jar left as we bought a 1kg natural tub so thought this would be good to use it up. I used 80g sugar as it already has sugar in it. But if you use the natural peanut butter you might want a bit more sugar just to make it sweeter. They're nice but quite dry is the only downside to them.

If you're a first time baker and want an easy no fuss bake, you should try these as you can make them in less than an hour including cleaning as you don't need any utensils really!

In a little bowl using a fork whisk the egg and vanilla.

Soft and chewy cookies - ended up with 50 but there's probably about half of them left now as they're so moreish!
