I have to give a shout-out to my mom for this recipe. I remember her making these for us when I was a little girl. They are, in my opinion, the best peanut butter cookies I have ever had. I love them, because they are so simple and require only three ingredients. I cannot tell you how many times I have whipped up a quick batch of these cookies for a late night snack when I had a sweet tooth after dinner. As a college student and now as a stay at home mom, I have loved the fact it only has three ingredients. Even if my cupboard looks like Old Mother Hubbard’s, I usually can always find what I need for these cookies. So, I hope you love them as much as I do. Even if you don’t, it is a great and simple recipe for a thrifty budget.
Peanut Butter Cookies
1 c. crunchy peanut butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
Mix all of the above ingredients together. Scoop out dough by tablespoons and roll into 1 inch round balls. Dip a fork in a glass of water and press down on the cookie with the tines of the fork. Turn the fork to the side and press down again on the cookie to make a criss-cross pattern on the top of the cookie. Repeat the process with all the cookies. Bake at 350 degrees on ungreased cookie sheets for 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. The bottoms of these cookies can get dark quick if you cook them too long. Recipe makes about 18 cookies.
