Description

These 2-ingredient peanut butter cookies (no egg!) are perfect if you're craving a sweet treat but don't have many ingredients on hand. 


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup of natural peanut butter (only natural peanut butter works for this recipe! Peanut butter with added ingredients will cause the cookies to spread and will not set)

1/2 cup of icing sugar (also known as confectioner sugar or powdered sugar)


Instructions

Reminder- these cookies are soft and melt in your mouth, and not as stiff as a regular cookie. ❤️ ✌🏼

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix peanut butter and icing sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  3. Chill the dough (recommended for warm climates). If you live in a warm climate or prefer firmer dough for easier handling, you can optionally chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Shape the dough into balls. After chilling (if desired), take a tablespoon-sized portion of the dough and roll it into balls between your palms. Or, using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet and then flatten it using the back of the spoon. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Flatten the cookies using a fork. Gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly, creating a pattern on the top of the cookies.
  6. Bake the Cookies. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
  7. Cool and Enjoy. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, as they can go from perfectly golden to overdone quickly. Remove them from the oven when the edges are lightly golden brown for soft and chewy cookies.

Choose the Right Peanut Butter: For the best texture and flavor, opt for creamy peanut butter with no added sugar or oil.

Let Them Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents them from crumbling.
