Easiest 3Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and the beaten egg.
3. Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely homogenous and forms a thick, slightly sticky dough ball. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
4. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly, then rotate the fork 90 degrees and press again to create the traditional crosshatch pattern.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and just beginning to look golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven. Crucially, let the cookies rest on the hot tray for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They firm up as they cool.
