I did not, however, at any time swear off being a Cookie Monster – so I have certain favorite recipes I use again and again. The Peanut Butter Cookies recipe below is a favorite – of mine as well as everyone else that gets within reach of these delicious cookies.
While their flavor is the best thing about them, their few (cheap) ingredients and level of insane easiness to make run a close second and third.
You’re going to love these cookies for all of these reasons. You’ll want to keep this cookie recipe handy for Christmas, birthdays, game days, and any day that calls for a yummy peanut butter cookie.
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Creamy (Smooth) Peanut Butter
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 2-3 TBS Chopped Peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg - stirring well.
- Stir in the chopped peanuts, if using.
- Spoon cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Dip a fork into extra sugar, then press a "crisscross" design on top of each cookie. This not only looks cook, it keeps the cookies flat.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Don't over-bake these cookies - it's actually better to take them out a little early than a little late.
