Make quick, delicious gluten free cookies using only three common pantry staples. This recipe is designed for maximum efficiency.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a stiff dough.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball, creating a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a slightly less sweet cookie, you can reduce the sugar amount to 3/4 cup.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free baking friendly.
  • You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a chewier texture.
