Peanut Butter Cookies II
Peanut Butter Cookies II
This is a no flour and a 3 or 4 ingredient recipe. I did use the brown sugar in addition to the white sugar, so 4 ingredients used, and I made Peanut Butter Blossoms with these, tasty.
Ingredients
For Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup peanut butter, honey roasted if you have that
- 1 cup sugar, or 1/2 cup sugar + 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg, chicken or duck
Needed for Peanut Butter Blossoms
- Hershey's Kisses, as needed, one per cookie
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together everything until well combined. Place a few tablespoons of additional sugar in a separate small bowl.
- Scoop out by teaspoons and roll into balls, roll balls in sugar and place on the parchment or foil.
For Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
- Dip a fork into the bowl with the sugar and press each cookie down to make the classic crosswise fork pattern, dipping the fork in the sugar for each cookie.
For Peanut Butter Blossoms
- Remove the foil from Hershey Kisses as needed. Just bake the ball shapes, do not flatten. After removing from the oven, place a Hershey's Kiss on each cookie pressing it in slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, aim is just until golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let the sheet cool for 5 minutes, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool.
- Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost.
Variants: 1. Mix in chocolate chips. 2. To make peanut butter blossoms, place a Hershey's kiss on top of each cookie right when they come out of the oven.

For just 3 to 4 ingredients, these are really good cookies. I made these on 14 Aug 2019 and was pleasantly surprised, this is an excellent small batch minimal ingredient cookie recipe.
