Peanut Butter Cookies

Having dictated this recipe to 3 people at the dog park in the past week, and having had all 3 approach me afterwards with varying forms of love/hate gestures (“THIS is YOUR FAULT!” one lady wailed, showing me her stomach 😉 ), I decided I had better move this up the posting schedule.

Use brown sugar instead of white for better Peanut Butter Cookies!

3 ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are not a new thing, certainly not my invention. I’ve no idea how long they’ve been around for, but what I do know is that every recipe I have seen calls for peanut butter, an egg and WHITE sugar. It is quite amazing, how much difference it makes just switching white for brown sugar. While I’d never turn down a 3 ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies made with white sugar, they are quite crumbly and crisp. The texture is not really to my taste, and I do feel it’s one of those 3 ingredient recipes where you are compromising on quality quite a bit for the sake of convenience. But use brown sugar instead… and wow! The difference is astonishing. The cookie is soft and chewy and it has more flavour too, that slight caramel-y flavour that brown sugar has. Here’s my attempt to capture how chewy and soft these cookies are!

How to make Peanut Butter Cookies

Mix 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, flatten 1 tbsp balls on tray, bake 10 minutes at 350F / 180C. Yes, it’s really that easy! And here’s a peek into the inside. It’s not dense and gluey which one might expect because they are flourless.

Peanut butter lovers, this recipe is dangerous knowledge to have, especially because it’s so ridiculously simple to remember.

World’s Best Easy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe video! These cookies are soft and chewy, and are a better version of the popular 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies. The difference is using brown instead of white sugar – it makes the cookies soft and chewy rather than crumbly and adds a wonderful caramel flavour. They are not dense and gluggy, which one might expect because of the absence of flour – see photo in post and at the end of the video!
