Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 15m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat to 350.
  • Combine all ingredients and mix well.
  • Spoon on foil lined cookie sheet and flaten.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: It makes the cookies smoother and creamier. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can pulse it in a food processor until it's smooth.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This helps them set and prevents them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

These 4-ingredient peanut butter cookies are easy to make and always a hit. They're perfect for a quick snack or dessert, and they're also great for packing in lunches. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy delicious and satisfying peanut butter cookies anytime you want.
