Rainy Day Baking Today = My 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies!!

     Today is a rainy blah day. Rainy days give me the urge to bake. I always love to bake but I get an extra push on rainy days. Today I am going to share with you my super secret peanut butter cookies recipe. It is so easy and takes minutes. I came up with this recipe years back when I wanted peanut butter cookies, but did not have close to what I needed. So I got to thinking and improvised with what I had. Now the first few times the cookies flopped, but I am no quitter lol. After some tweaking here and there I came up with a super delicious, ridiculously easy peanut butter cookie! These are something you can whip up fast. You will have all the ingredients in your kitchen already. No need for a trip to the market for these puppies! Are you ready for the secret recipe? Dun Dun Dun...... All you need is:

     *1 cup sugar
     *1 cup peanut butter
     *1 egg
   

      This will make 12-18 cookies! Right now you are saying "You have got to be kiddin me?" or "Shut the front door?" Am I right? Alright lets get to the directions, so you can get started on these bad boys yourself. Maybe surprise the family with some yummy cookies for dessert!

~ Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

~ In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients.

~ Mix together until all incorporated.

~ Roll the dough into inch sized balls and place on a un-greased, non stick cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

 ~ Use a fork to flatten the balls.

We added Reeses bites for these ones.

~ Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Watch them because they can easily over cook.

~ Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool. They will still be soft to the touch. As they cool they will firm up.

~ Enjoy!

     These are super versatile cookies. You can add a forth ingredient like my munchkin did to change them up.  She wanted Reese bites in some of them. You could add chocolate chips, Reese Pieces, Hershey kisses, or anything that your want. You could top with fluff while they cool, or make a thumb print while they cool and add a tiny bit of strawberry jam. All so Yummy! So there you have it my super secret easy peasy lemon squeezy peanut butter cookies. I hope you enjoy them!
