Super Easy Peanut Butter Cookies!!!

I found a recipe the other day for homemade peanut butter cookies that I was dying to try. 

IT HAS 4 INGREDIENTS!

{yes, you read that right}

What you need:

1 Cup of Peanut Butter

1 Cup of Sugar

1 Egg

1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

An oven preheated to 350 degrees

Cookie Sheet

Parchment Paper {optional}

Love :]

Directions:

1. Beat the egg 

2. Combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.

{looks gross}

3. Mix with a hand mixer or a stand mixer

{or with a spoon if you want to get a good workout in}

4. Mix for about a minute and a half, or until all ingredients are combined.

5. Scoop out small balls and place on a cookie sheet

{I covered mine with parchment paper}

6. Mash with a fork in a horizontal direction then a vertical to create a checkered pattern.

7. Bake cookies for 10-12 min or until the edges are golden brown

8. Once baked, take out and after a few minutes, place cookies on a cooling rack

9. Once cooled, get them in your belly!!

*Quick Tip*

Before measuring out the 1 cup of peanut butter, coat it with cooking spray so it won't be stuck in there when you are trying to get it out! 

Good luck! Happy baking!
