Peanut butter cookies are one of my favorite types of cookies, and this recipe makes it so easy to have in a short amount of time! There are only 3 ingredients (which are usually already in my kitchen), and they bake up in almost no time at all. Soft, chewy, and delicious, these cookies are a must try!
Ingredients:
1 cup of peanut butter
5 oz (a little over a 1/2 cup) of lightly packed light brown sugar
1 egg
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar and mix. Add the egg and mix until everything is well combined.

| Mixing the cookie dough |
Cover baking pans with cookie sheets or wax paper (do not grease them, the peanut butter has enough oil!) Form round balls with the cookie dough (about 1 inch in diameter), and place them on the prepared cookie sheets. Take a fork and make crosshatch marks while flattening each of the cookies.

| Cookies ready for the oven |
Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sides start to brown a little. Take them out and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 15-20 minutes before removing them. Enjoy with a cup of milk or tea!
Note: Depending on the brand of peanut butter you use, the cookie dough may come out too greasy. Just add a bit of flour until it reaches cookie dough consistency and holds together. Mine did not need flour but the dough wasn't as firm as I would have liked, so I refrigerated the dough for about 10 minutes before forming the cookies.
