Literally my whole brand! <3 ☺️

Anyway, here's a beginner friendly, 3 ingredient, Peanut Butter cookie recipe;

The only ingredients that you'll need for one batch of these cookies are:

[A] 1 cup/255g of Peanut Butter,

[B] 1 cup/200g of Granulated Sugar,

[C] 1 Large Egg!

(These should be room temperature when used! And will probably make you ~around~ 22 or so Cookies.)

=========================================

Note!;

{I unfortunately don't know of any Egg substitutes that work in this recipe for those who can't have Egg, my sincerest apologies. As for what type of Peanut Butter to use, go nuts- (literally, lol.) and use whatever! Though you're probably better off going with a thicker Peanut Butter than a thinner one, I've personally noticed that Jif or Skippy work best. Anyway!}

=========================================

The only equipment that you'll need for this recipe is:

[A] 1 Large Bowl for mixing. (As well as 2 Medium Bowls *if* you're doing the measuring by weight),

[B] 1 Baking Sheet,

[C] 1 Whisk,

[D] 1 Fork,

[E] 1 Measuring Cup, (1 cup)

[F] Baking/Parchment Paper!

=========================================

Note 2!;

{This is a beginner friendly recipe, so you're safe to not be exact! 😁 But in general, baking (while an art) is a little more specific than cooking is, so it's best to stay consistent! Cups, teaspoons, and pinches, are all fine and great! But they *are* less consistent than going by weight!}

=========================================

For the tools, if you don't have a Whisk, then you *can* make do with just the fork or your hands for mixing. If you don't have Baking/Parchment Paper, then you *can* make do with a light coat of Neutral Cooking Oil. (I.e. Canola, Vegetable, Sunflower, Peanut, etc.) And you only *need* the One Measuring Cup, so long as you remember to measure the Granulated Sugar *before* the Peanut Butter.

Also, this is where your batch size may differ, depending on the size of the Baking Sheet you use!

Let's Begin!

Step 1.] Start by preheating your oven to 350°F, or 176.6°C!

Step 1.5] While that's heating up, We're gonna line our Baking Sheet with Parchment/Baking Paper! But here's a tip! If you crumple up the Parchment Paper first, and *then* uncrumple and lay it out over the Baking Sheet, then the new texture from doing that will make it a lot easier to get the Cookies off the tray once they're done! This trick actually works for most baked goods!

- (Alternatively, if you don't have any Parchment Paper, then now is when you would take a little bit of your Neutral Cooking Oil, and thinly coat the side of the Baking Sheet that you're going to put your "Cookie Dough" on!)

Step 2.] Combine the Egg, Sugar, and Peanut Butter into a Large Bowl, and mix well until thoroughly incorporated!

- (You can tell that it's mixed enough when it's all a consistent color and texture- and not super grainy from the sugar! Pretty much just mix until it seems right to you! With other baked goods, you want to be careful about not over-mixing things- with this recipe though, you don't have to be as worried about it!)

Step 3.] Once your "Dough" is mixed together, start taking out a little at a time and rolling it into balls with your hands! The "Cookie-Dough" balls should be roughly an inch thick (if a little less), and then placed on the (now lined or oiled) Baking Sheet about 2-ish inches apart! [If you'd like some suggestions on how to spruce up the mix first, check "Optional Step 3.5!"]

- (Warning! This process can be a bit messy! Also though, keep in mind that these sizes aren't set in stone! If you would like your cookies to be larger or smaller, then you are allowed to do that! Just then keep in mind that the cooking time may increase or decrease as well!)

Optional Step 3.5] Here's where you can get Creative! Or- rather, *a place* where you can get Creative! You can of course skip this Step if you don't want to make any modifications- but here's some suggestions If you do! Maaaaaybe not all at once though-

[♣︎] Throw a couple handfuls of Chocolate-Chips into the mix!

[◆] Add a few splashes of Vanilla Extract! This is what I do most of the time, adding ~about~ 1/2 a teaspoon to a batch this size!

[���︎] Do a not "unreasonable" few shakes of Cinnamon. Either into the mix, or dusted on top at the end!

[★] Sprinkle a pinch of Coarse Salt on top of the Cookies!

[●] Roll the "Dough-Balls" in a little extra Granulated Sugar before Baking!

- (Of course, these are just suggestions! You can take em, or leave em, or make up your own stuff!)

Step 4.] Once your "Dough" is rolled into evenly spaced balls on the Baking Sheet, take your Fork, and use the back of it to gently press down on the cookies! Do it twice- once vertically, and the second horizontally!

- (This is Crosshatching! You want to gently flatten your Cookies so that they become an actual Cookie Shape, because these ones don't actually do a whole lot of rising and flattening on their own! Don't press down all the way through them though! Only about half-ish way!)

Step 5.] BAKE THE COOKIES! Now that you should have all your Cookies crosshatched, and on the Lined/Oiled Baking Sheet, then- (once your Oven has finished preheating)- put your tray of cookies into the oven! This should take about 8-10 minutes. But it *can* vary sometimes, depending on your Oven!

- (Be sure to keep an eye on them! Once you've made one batch then you'll about know how your Oven handles them, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on things! Also, something very much to keep note of- these Cookies don't rise, or even really Brown much at all, so they *are* suseptible to Over-Baking. The best way to see if they're done is to visually check if they've set, and by doing the Toothpick Test. (I.e. are the edges just getting golden, and if you stick a toothpick in the thickest part, does it come out clean?)

Step 6.] Assuming that your Cookies are now Baked, you can officially take your tray out of the Oven! Best bet for now is to either put it on your Stovetop, or a couple of Hot-Pads. But even putting it on an Oven Mitt should work! Of course, now it's time to WAIT. My best guesstimate is that it should take *about* 20-ish minutes for them to cool.

- (As sad as it is to have to wait for them cool down, they do turn out better if you do! I'm afraid that's just how the Cookie Crumbles! Hilarious puns aside though, there are a few things you can do here. 1.] If you have a Wire Rack, then after about five or so minutes, you can transfer the Cookies from the Baking Sheet directly to there, which should help cool them down faster. And 2.] If you still have a Batch you need to Bake, and only the one Tray, then again- after five or so minutes, you can transfer the Cookies directly to a plate and have them finish cooling there!)

Step 7.] Enjoy!

======{Helpful Tips!}======

[1.] These Cookies (if kept in an Airtight/Sealed Container after being fully cooled down) can last at Room Temperature for up to Five Days! Though of course, they'll last even longer if kept in the fridge! (I wish I could tell you exactly how much longer, but they're never around long enough for me to find out!)

[2.] If said Airtight/Sealed Container is Freezer Safe, then the Cookies can be Frozen! In which case, they should last for about three-ish months or so! (It takes about an hour, give or take, for the Cookies to thaw from Frozen at Room Temperature.)

[3.] The "Cookie-Dough" can also be Frozen in the Freezer! It'll also last that way for about three months, though I recommend making them into the Crosshatches first. You don't even need to re-thaw them before you bake! Just add an extra couple minutes to the timer!

[4.] If your "Dough" mixture is a little too soft to form into balls, then you can put it in the Fridge for a couple minutes, which *should* help it firm up! Just don't leave it in the Fridge for too long, though, because doing that can dry it out!

What was I talking about again..? Oh yeah! Thanks for liking Peanut Butter!

You're pretty cool, too!

Thinking about how in biology class we learned how we could trace humans back to some fish and the professor said "you are a fish" and all i could think, was "i wonder if i write 'i am a fish' 400x on the test and then faint, if he'll accept that as an answer"
