Simple, timeless, and foolproof—this classic recipe has been loved for generations. With just three pantry staples, you can whip up soft, chewy cookies in minutes. No mixer, no flour, no stress!
Ingredients (Makes about 12 cookies)
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Flatten gently with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Tip
Enjoy warm with a glass of milk, or let them cool for a perfectly chewy texture. These cookies also freeze beautifully!
