I have been making these cookies since I was in Jr. High. I would come home from school and try to get them baked before my brother and sister came home, probably because I wanted to sneak a couple without them knowing. Now my kids make them whenever they’re craving delicious peanut butter cookies. They’re super simple, soft, chewy, and naturally gluten free.
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Whisk the egg, mix in sugar then add the peanut butter. Form into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. I like to bake them on a stone so they come out perfect on both sides. Press down using a fork or leave in a ball and place a hershey’s kiss in the center once it’s finished baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let cool a few minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. You can easily double or triple the recipe for more delicious cookies.
I was going to share these at Christmas but also thought they would make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat. I mean with the kiss in the middle it seems like they were made for Valentine’s day. You could even put a heart shaped chocolate candy in the center if you prefer. I guess I know what I’m making in 2 days.
I am so keen to try these! The fact there’s only three ingredients is too good to pass up!
Those look great. They’re gluten-free too, which is what my family and I are into. Thanks for sharing. I will have to try these out.
Wow! These are simple and look great!
These sound great. I’m trying to be gluten free & my hubby loves peanut butter.
i love how simple these are and I bet they are super yummy

I am definitely going to have to make these with my girls! They would love them! Pinning!
Can’t beat only three ingredients! I’ll have to tuck this one into my emergency sugar cravings file!
Great recipe!
I’m now gonna make them for my mum as she is feeling sick today!
Hopefully this will cheer her up.
