Three ingredient peanut butter cookies! Peanut butter, white sugar and eggs are all you need to make this one bowl recipe. And no chilling required. Added bonus: they are naturally gluten free!
If you are new to baking, or think you can’t bake from scratch, then this beginners recipe is perfect for you to start out with.
Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar (for rolling cookies in)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350-degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sugar and eggs until completely combined. Use a standard sized cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls. Roll the balls in sugar and place on the cookie sheets. Use a fork to put crisscross marks across the tops of the cookies.
Bake cookies one cookie sheet at a time in 350-degree oven for 12-15 minutes (depending on how crunchy you like your cookies). Let cookies set on the cookie sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

July 20, 2018 at 10:49 AMKelly I am 77 years old and have been making these cookies for my son , my grandchildren and now my great grandson’s. I would be willing to say I have made a trailer truck full of these. I wanted to send you a picture of my great grandson and myself making these cookies the first time I seen him, they lived in California and were military but can’t figure out how to do it.
