Great timing, thank you very much. The kids and I were just talking

today about making PB Cookies and I'd love it if they had less sugar!

I love to cook, but I'm sometimes put off by recipes containing a

long list of ingredients. They can be complicated and expensive. This

recipe for peanut butter cookies is the easiest one you'll ever make

and they are delicious.

 

Peanut Butter Cookies

(makes 2 - 3 dozen)

 

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar (plus extra later)

1 egg

 

1. Preheat oven to 325.

2. Mix all ingredients until smooth.

3. Roll into 1 " balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

4. Dip the bottom of a glass into some sugar, then slightly flatten

the cookies. You may also score them with a fork.

5. Bake for 10 minutes.

 

That's all there is to it! Enjoy!

Oh my gosh! You are so right, that is officially the easiest peanut

butter cookie recipe ever! So easy infact, I can actually let my

older two make it by themselves w/o worrying about hovering over them

making sure they don't get flour all over the flour! (Flour is REALLY

slippery, lol!!)

I'm so glad some of you tried the Peanut Butter Cookie recipe I posted.

To answer a couple of questions: No, there really is no flour involved.

It sounds like the recipe shouldn't work, but it honestly does. And as

for the mishap, my guess is that perhaps the peanut butter you used was

too warm (but I'm no expert LOL). I'm going to hunt down another really

simple recipe I have for coconut macaroons...
