Easy Peanut Butter Cookies


What to do on a rainy day? Paint faces and make cookies! 

Here's our simple recipe for easy peanut butter cookies:


Ingredients (preferably all organic):
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1 cup of sugar
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350ºF / 180ºC.


Put the three ingredients in a bowl.


Mix.


Use a fork to criss...then cross. This flattens the cookies. 
I always dip the fork in sugar before I criss-cross so that it doesn't stick to the cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.

After you remove them from the oven, let the cookies remain on the sheet for a few minutes before placing them gently on a cooling rack. This will help prevent them from breaking.


Eat.


Enjoy!

    1. I think I figured it out when once upon a time a recipe said to dip the fork in flour, which didn't sound like it would be too tasty on top of a cookie. So, I gave sugar a try and have been doing it for years. A little bit of sugar on top never hurts! :-)
