Step‑by‑Step Instructions for 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheet ungreased.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  3. Scoop out golf ball-sized portions and place on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Press down with a fork to create a cross-hatch pattern.
  4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. The center should be slightly soft.
  5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes to firm up before transferring.
  6. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before enjoying.
