You know that we I love peanut butter, right? LOVE.
Peanut butter cookies are our my favorite. The only thing I don’t care for is the floury taste that sometimes accompanies even the very best peanut butter cookies.
Of course I’m going to share the recipe for these with you – because I am not one of those people who has secret recipes!
Five Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Ingredient 1. 1 cup Peanut Butter
Ingredient 2. 1 cup sugar
Ingredient 3. 1 egg
Ingredient 4. 1 tsp baking soda
Ingredient 5 (optional). 1/4 cup Chocolate chips
Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Add baking soda. Fold in chocolate chips.
Use a spoon to scoop the dough and roll into 1 inch balls. The dough is flaky and might have to be squeezed together to make it stick into a ball – it’s ok – it’ll be worth it.

Use a fork to make crisscross marks in the cookie.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
Enjoy :)

I followed the recipe and the cookies were burnt after 5 minutes. I’m sad that I wasted ingredients.
5 min and they’re burnt? Your oven must broken.
OMG! YUM! If you love peanut butter and a fast batch of cookies look no further! I am so happy of how fast this is! Only wish I knew how much Weight watcher points one cookie is cause it’s hard to eat just one.
Because I didn’t have one cup of either pb, I used 1/2 cup creamy pb, 1/2 cup crunchy pb, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup regular sugar, 1 egg, & 1 teaspoon baking soda.
They turned out GREAT! My 7-year-old had 4 cookies. She kept going back and sneaking cookies. I had three and my fiance just grabbed another one, and pb cookies are not even his favorite. So, these are a hit. I will be making these for Christmas treats.
Just made a batch of these with brown sugar and a little white sugar to make a full cup. Simple, quick and done in less than 30 minutes. I sprayed the pans with Pam for easy cleanup. No spacula necessary. They turned out awesome. Thanks for a very easy Gluten Free recipe.
Hey
Just about to bake some of these but wondering can I freeze the dough?
Thanks
Its good if you add vanilla
Try making these without the chocolate chips and when you take them out of the oven top with a Hershey’s kiss! Really good !
Thinking of adding raisins for my hubby. I know he’d love that.
I didn’t believe it, but these cookies are ridiculously good.
Did I mention that they were super easy and FAST! Cookie craving satiated in less than 30 minutes!
