Easy Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies (4 Ingredients)

These Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies are quite an easy and tasty treat. Comes together in a matter of minutes, no mixer is required and only four ingredients are needed!

This recipe is super easy and fun to make with kids. For a quick dessert or snack whip these up in a matter of 30 minutes from start to finish. No chilling the dough before baking.

I use two kinds of sugar, granulated and packed dark brown sugar. I like the flavor of adding both but you can use just one sugar or the other. So if you were using just granulated that would be 1/2 cup for the entire recipe.

These make 19 cookies using 1 tbsp of dough. You can make these smaller or bigger if desired. I bake these cookies for about 13-15 minutes. You’ll start seeing a barely visible darker brown edge that’s when you take them out.

Ingredients

1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Add both sugars, mix well until sugar is not visible

Add in egg and vanilla extract, mix until the egg is fully incoraporated.

Measure 1 tbsp dough, roll into a ball, and place on cookie sheet

Using a fork, press down and across to create a pattern. Use fingers to gently pull away dough from the fork if it starts to stick.

Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
