Description
Discover the rich, roasted intensity of these classic three-ingredient cookies that require no flour at all. They offer a sophisticated balance of a crisp, golden exterior and a soft, fudgy center, making them a perfect quick treat for peanut butter enthusiasts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted Peanut Butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sugar, and egg using a sturdy spoon until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and slightly shiny.
- Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Use the back of a fork to press a classic crisscross pattern into each ball to help the dense dough bake evenly.
- Bake for approximately 8 minutes until the edges are just set and golden; let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 to 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To ensure a perfectly smooth and unified dough, use a room-temperature egg to prevent the peanut fats from seizing. If you prefer a more decorative finish, try rolling the dough balls in extra granulated sugar before pressing them with your fork for a sparkling crystalline crust.
