WORLD'S BEST EASY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



World's Best Easy Peanut Butter Cookies image

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.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup / 265 g peanut butter (, smooth or crunchy (I use Kraft) (Note 1))
200 g/ 1 cup , packed, brown sugar ((Note 2))
1 egg

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.
