How to Make 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies?
This cookie recipe's ingredients are readily available in every pantry or kitchen.
Using store-bought peanut butter is recommended for this recipe. You can either use the creamy or the chunky versions.
Brown sugar is much better in this recipe because it gives a little bit of soft texture to the cookies compared to granulated sugar.
Moreover, you can reduce the amount of sugar too. ½ cup to 1 cup is ideal. You can also use sugar substitutes like baking Splenda.
You can either hand mix the batter or use a whisk.
The best part about this recipe is that you can fold in some chips when you are making the batter. For me, raisins are the best with peanut butter cookies.
Make this a fun baking process involving your kids by letting them roll the batter into balls.
Before flattening the dough on the baking sheet and making a criss-cross on top with a fork, make sure to grease the fork so the dough won't stick to it.

Just made these PB cookies. They are very good. Definitely sugary, but good flavor. I made 12 and they were good size. Very quick and easy if you need a sweet fix.
