Quick and easy peanut butter cookies made with only 5 pantry ingredients and no flour or butter! Simple, effortless, and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup creamy full-fat peanut butter ((*see note))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    With an electric mixer, blend together all the ingredients until combined, smooth, and thick, 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Using a heaping tablespoon cookie scoop, form dough into 1 1/4-inch balls with the palms of your hands.

  4. 4

    Transfer to the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.

  5. 5

    Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction, to form a criss-cross pattern on top.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 10 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown and they are about 3 inches wide (all ovens run differently.) They will still be slightly soft if you press on them hot from the oven.

  7. 7

    Remove from oven and let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and firm up.

  8. 8

    Enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk!
