Easy & Chewy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Looking for a cookie recipe that’s quick, delicious, and packed with wholesome ingredients?

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
  • 1/2 cup almond flour or coconut flour for a keto option

Method
 

Preheat Your Oven
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking
Mix the Ingredients
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and almond flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a smooth, slightly sticky consistency.
  2. Pro Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of almond flour. If it’s too dry, drizzle a little more honey or maple syrup.
Shape the Cookies
  1. Scoop about one tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between them. Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
Bake to Perfection
  1. Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep a close eye during the final minutes, as they can quickly overbake.
  2. Important: The cookies will be soft when you first take them out of the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack.
Cool and Serve
  1. Once cooled, these cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
