I played with the peanut butter cookie recipe. I added teaspoon of vanilla, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, teaspoon of cinnamon and only 1/2 cup of crunchy peanut butter and 1 cup of flour plus 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

Whip up my 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies recipe in no time. My easy Peanut Butter Cookies taste as good as a classic recipe without all the fuss.
Hi Bold Bakers!
If you’re like me, you’re also an avid peanut butter lover! One of my favorite ways to enjoy the nutty flavor and creamy texture of peanut butter is with a classic homemade peanut butter cookies recipe.
Who doesn’t have happy childhood memories of making or eating peanut butter cookies, with that cross hatch patter on top, chewy bite and nutty sweet taste! Since Bold Baking is all about giving you the confidence to bake anytime, anywhere — behold my 3 Ingredient Cookies and this easy peanut butter cookies recipe.
How to Make 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
My 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie recipe is truly as easy as 1, 2, 3, meaning you can whip up some happiness on any old day. This recipe is pretty much magic, made with just 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 egg. The 1 to 1 to 1 ratio really makes this recipe easy to remember.
After mixing all 3 ingredients together in a bowl, you roll the dough into balls and press them down and flatten them with the back of a fork. This gives them them the peanut butter cookie look we all know and love. Bake these 3 ingredient cookies for 15 minutes into impressively thick and decadent cookies. While this recipe really cuts down on prep time, none of the flavor or texture is lost in the process.
Can I make these cookies vegan and substitute the eggs?
Yes you can replace the eggs, but just note you might not get thee EXACT same result as I did. You can replace the eggs in this recipe by following my Egg Substitutes Chart for cookies. Flax egg will be the best substitute.
3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies Ideas
While these are perfection all on their own, I love the idea of these being filled with my creamy 2 Ingredient Ice Cream to make some homemade ice cream sandwiches. You could absolutely cover these peanut butter cookies in rich Chocolate Frosting, or dip them in melted chocolate! All you Bold Bakers must give these a try.
I promise you, they will be an instant hit!
What is the best peanut butter to use when making peanut butter cookies?
Ok, #realtalk time! If you tell anyone I said this, I will deny it and say that you are lying… The best peanut butter to use in this recipe is cheap, smooth peanut butter. You know the brand that you don’t buy in the supermarket, but it’s what you grew up on? That’s the brand you want to use.
Nothing against my Homemade Peanut Butter recipe, but it just doesn’t yield you the best cookie. If you find your cookies are too crumbly, it can be a result of a more quality peanut butter.
