I love to make these cookies.  They are fast and easy. The dirty dish count is 1 bowl, 1 measuring cup, and one fork.  If you use parchment paper, you won’t even dirty a pan.  From the moment you enter the kitchen to the time you are eating yummy cookies, it’s only been a half an hour… 10 minutes to get all the stuff out and then mix it up, 10 minutes to bake and then 10 minutes to cool… and for me, peanut butter cookies to calm the peanut butter cravings this tiny rice sized bit of wonder in my belly is giving me!  Nom nom nom!

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup splenda****)

1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all 3 ingredients together in a bowl.  Roll into little balls and press down with a fork.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Cool for about 10 minutes and then gobble them up!

****IF YOU USE SPLENDA!!!****

Mix your sugar and splenda into the peanut butter and THEN add the egg.  For some reason, anything I have baked where splenda and egg are allowed to mingle together in a bowl, the resulting mess is very pudding-like (after it’s been baked)… not a great feature for a cookie.

Also, don’t try to go all splenda, either.  Tried it and failed.  The cookies fell apart the second I touched them, and what I did manage to get in my mouth, instantly adhered to the roof of my mouth for what seemed like hours!
