  • 1 cup (8oz/225g) peanut butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl stir all three ingredients together until smooth.

  3. Using a tablespoon measure scoop out 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into a smooth ball.

  4. Place pre-rolled cookies on your cookie sheet about one inch apart, no need to worry about these spreading.

  5. Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction to form that classic criss-cross pattern.

  6. Bake these 3 ingredient cookies for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray for 1-2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.

  7. Store your peanut butter cookies in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
