These 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies are the easiest treat you can make! With just peanut butter, sugar, and an egg, you’ll have soft, chewy cookies ready in minutes. Perfect for a quick snack or a simple dessert that everyone will love.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Whisk the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) until well combined.
Add the peanut butter: Stir in peanut butter and mix until the dough comes together smoothly.
Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Create the fork pattern: Use a fork to press the cookies down in a crisscross pattern, flattening them slightly.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
