Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter, egg, and sugar together until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until golden.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using natural peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt. If you're looking for a lower sugar option, you can substitute half of the sugar with a sugar alternative like erythritol or stevia. Make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even consistency. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of sea salt or some chocolate chips for extra flavor.

These peanut butter cookies are delightful on their own but also pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee.

They make an excellent snack option for kids and adults alike, especially when enjoyed with Putsch'S Spinach Salad for a balanced meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?
Yes, you can definitely use crunchy peanut butter for added texture in your cookies. Just be aware that it may slightly change the consistency of the dough, making it a bit thicker. The flavor will still be delicious, and the added crunch can provide a nice contrast.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are lightly golden around the edges and still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them. A good rule of thumb is to set a timer for 10 minutes, but keep an eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
Can I make these cookies vegan?
To make these cookies vegan, you can replace the egg with a flax egg, which is made by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients together while keeping the recipe plant-based.
