WORLD'S BEST EASY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
A better version of the popular 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies! By switching white sugar with brown sugar, these cookies are SOFT and CHEWY instead of crumbly and crisp. They aren't dense and gluggy, which one might expect because they are made without flour - see the inside of the cookie in the photo in the post. They are not too sweet and they truly taste of peanut butter (rarer than you might think!). Recipe VIDEO below.

Steps:
- Place ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. It will be soft, too soft for scooping. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180C / 350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan / convection).
- Line 2 trays with parchment paper.
- Place 1 tbsp scoops of the dough onto the trays (I use a cookie scoop) 5cm/2" apart.
- Dip a large fork in a bowl of hot tap water (stops fork sticking to dough). Press down on the dough, then press 90 degrees the other way (watch video) so the cookie is 1 cm / 2/5" thick. Re-dip fork in water as required.
- Put both trays in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, swapping the trays halfway through, or until light golden on the surface and golden on the edges. (Or longer if you want crisper cookies)
- Leave to cool on the tray. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 - 5 days.

Steps:
- In a large bowl stir together peanut butter with sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Shape into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets, then gently flatten with the tines of the fork.
- Bake 325 for 15 minutes or until golden brown; remove to wire racks to cool.
- FOR VARIATIONS; press 1 cup of either chocolate chips, toffee bits or chopped peanuts on top of the prepared cookie dough, then bake as directed.
- Or another variation for chocolate peanut butter cookies is; divide the peanut butter cookie dough in half; stir in half of the the melted baking squares into each half of the peanut butter cookie dough, then mix until combined, bake as directed.
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter: This will result in a smoother cookie dough and a more uniform cookie.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
These peanut butter cookies are easy to make and always a hit. They are perfect for any occasion, from a quick snack to a special holiday treat. With a few simple variations, you can customize these cookies to your own taste. So next time you are craving a peanut butter cookie, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
