I do not bake cookies a lot. I probably like savoury snacks more than sweet ones. This one, though, is one that I really like, and if I am in the mood to bake cookies, this is most often the one I make.
I love peanut butter and these cookies are mostly peanut butter with the other ingredients just there to bind and form it into cookies. What's more, there are only four ingredients, 2 measures of each. Read it once and you'll memorize it instantly. Mix, shape and bake. Isn't it great?
The recipe comes from Woman's Day but I omitted some of the ingredients: the chopped peanuts and the chocolate ganache. I just wanted simple lumps of peanut butter and nothing else to distract my enjoyment.
Ingredients:
2 c. smooth peanut butter
2 c. light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsps. baking soda
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 350° F/ 180° C.
Beat all of the ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth and blended. (The light brown sugar may be replaced with 1 cup each of white and brown sugar.)
Drop level tablespoonfuls, 2" apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Press gently with a fork.
Bake, one sheet at a time, until puffed and golden, for about 10 minutes. It will still be slightly soft when cooked but will firm up after cooling. Leave in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.

Hi Adora,
ReplyDeleteI hardly make cookies too; only during CNY because it took me and my family very long time to finish the cookies :-) Since it is Halloween coming it is good to bake some to give away to the children.
I love CNY cookies! Love seeing them in the shops in their red and gold packaging. These won't be out of place on CNY. Easier to make than peanut cookies.
DeleteI can't wait to give these a try. I have one that has only three ingredients in it, but they are a bit fussy. Guess its due to the humidity, cuz they don't always come out the way they should. Your recipe looks like a keeper to me...thanks a million.
DeleteThis recipe always comes out the same. It is so easy to make. It is usually my children who make them.
DeleteI recently learned these marks are from forks. I know I'm learning baking 101 so late in my life! I love your easy cookies! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can make these cookies with your eyes closed, Nami. Your two cute ones can will enjoy making them with you.
DeleteNo flour and no butter! I love it! I'm not a baker either, so I didn't know it was possible to even make cookies without flour and butter. Now I know! These are perfect and I do love peanut butter cookies!
ReplyDeleteYes MJ, these are pure peanut butter yumminess but nicer than eating peanut butter with a spoon.
