3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

       Yes, you read that right!! Peanut Butter cookies with only three ingredients. I found this recipe when I was pregnant with Landon and I was addicted. I made a batch almost every night for the last 3 months of my pregnancy. It's very easy and super quick!
       Here's what you'll need:
1 Cup of Peanut Butter
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Egg

      
       Preheat your oven to 350 and then let's get started!
       First, mix all of your ingredients together (yes, all whopping 3 of them!). I like to use and electric mixer to get it a little bit smoother, but you can definitely use a spoon too. Either way works out just fine in the end.
       Next, you want to scoop out small round balls of your mix onto a greased cookie sheet. I always line mine with aluminum foil first and then grease, because seriously who actually washes their cookie sheet? Less clean up the better!
       These will spread out flat all on their own, but there is a simple way to make them look a little more elegant if you like them to look professional. I use this trick if I'm taking these to a party or special occasion. Once you place the balls onto the cookie sheet, press a fork flat down on the tops and then do the same in the opposite direction, perpendicular. This will give them that laced, pie topping appearance and you'll be surprised at how many compliments you will get.
       Now that all of your mix is balled up on your cookie sheet, pop them in the oven for 9 minutes and enjoy!! This recipe makes about 12 to 15 cookies depending on size and how much dough you eat along the way. ;)
You will have tons of people asking for your recipe for these cookies. My advice, keep it to yourself. Don't ever tell anyone how super simple these are and how little effort you actually had to put in for them. :) Enjoy!
