3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

When a friend proposed to me that we make these 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies, I was blown away by how easy they are. The peanut butter keeps them together, and because they have no flour, they have this awesome creamy texture. The best part of 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies is how quickly they come together–you can have freshly baked cookies in as little as 15 minutes!

My mom HATES peanuts and peanut butter. She’s not allergic, but she might as well be by how much she despises peanuts. We tried making this recipe with almond butter for her, and they turned out okay, but kind of had this funny taste to them whereas the peanut butter ones were definitely binge-worthy.

Why do you make fork marks on peanut butter cookies?

Putting the marks in the cookies flatten them to make them easier to bake all the way through. As a peanut-hater, my mom likes the marks because she knows that she won’t be the least bit tempted to eat them. Sometimes I’m tempted to put the fork marks on other cookies so that I don’t have to share.
