I was sitting there watching
one of my favorite tv shows when a cookie craving hit me.
As I watched one of the main characters take her chocolate
chip cookies off the baking sheet, I drooled at the
prospect of some freshly baked cookies.
I wanted something that was
easy, quick, and didn't require me to go out and buy
ingredients. So I searched the Internet, figuring peanut
butter cookies would do the trick. I was surprised to find
a peanut butter cookie recipe that didn't require flour.
In fact, it didn't require many ingredients at all.
My curiousity peaked, I
tried it out:
Flourless, 3 Ingredient
Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup sugar (or 3/4 cup,
if you prefer)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peanut butter
(crunchy or smooth)
Combine sugar and egg in
mixing bowl, stirring until smooth. Add peanut butter and
mix thoroughly. Roll into walnut-sized balls.
Place the balls on
ungreased cookie sheet(s) at least 2" apart. Flatten
with the tines of a fork, then turn the 90 degrees and use
fork again t create cross hatches.
Bake 10 minutes at 375
degrees Fahrenheit (or until done). Let cool in pan for 1
minute before removing to cooling rack. Leaving them on
the sheet for too long will make them hard.
Yes, the cookies are soft
after they come from the oven. I don't know how long they
stay soft out in the open though, as I had a couple of
cousins come over while they were baking and we all pretty
much destroyed the cookies.
Still, if you plan on
keeping them (or any other type of cookies for that
matter) for a while, then put a slice of bread on the
bottom of an air tight container and place the cookies on
top. If you have any cookies left when the bread gets
hard, replace the piece of bread.
I hope you try this peanut
butter cookie recipe and love it. I know I'll be pulling
this one out whenever a cookie craving hits me again.
