These easy peanut butter cookies have just three ingredients (and take just a few minutes to whip up!) and are a perfect snack for the kids when camping.

Plus, these cookies are gluten free and also sugar-free if you substitute the sugar with Splenda.

Peanut Butter Cookies are some of my favorites! You can’t get any easier than this recipe either. All you need is three simple ingredients – in fact you probably have these ingredients in your pantry right now.

  1. peanut butter
  2. egg
  3. sugar

When making your peanut butter cookies it’s important to flatten the cookies dough on the baking sheet with a fork. I like to do it in a cris-cross pattern. Not only does it aid in the baking, the criss-cross marks make the cookies so cute!

Peanut butter cookie dough is thicker than other types of cookie dough. When making the criss-cross marks in the cookie dough balls, it flattens them for more even baking. Unless you press the cookies, they will not cook evenly. The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden brown.

So let’s take a look at how easy these cookies are to make! Like I said, you start with three simple ingredients: peanut butter (use your favorite), sugar, and an egg.
