My friend, Marivic, posted a link in her timeline at Facebook of peanut butter cookies. I love peanut butter so I followed the link and was pleasantly surprised to note that the recipe only involves 3 ingredients: peanut butter, sugar and egg. As I have them in my food cupboard, I am now trying out the recipe.
The biscuits are still baking for another minute and then they will be done. They now start to smell divine!

Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees centigrade.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or with a silicone baking mat. My baking sheet is a lovely non-stick one so hopefully it will work without the addition of parchment, wax paper or grease-proof paper.
In a bowl, mix the sugar, peanut butter and egg together until well incorporated. I did beat the egg birth before I added it into the mix.
Roll little balls between your palms and put them straight into the baking sheet.
Using the back of a fork, make a criss-cross pattern on each cookie. This action will not only give lovely geometric design to your cookies, it would also flatten the little balls of dough into a more biscuit-like shapes. Apparently an inch in between the biscuit doughs is enough as they won’t spread. (we will see!)
Bake for 12 minutes.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack. I did try to pick one up immediately after I took them off the oven. The cookie just crumbled in my hand. So lesson learnt: wait for it to cool down to give it a chance to toughen up into solid biscuits. 😉
