So today I wanted something sweet, but I had nothing premade. So I opened up my Taste of Home book and looked through the cookies. This one only has 4 ingredients and could be whipped up and baked within 30 minutes. And they are SO good the girls and I ate almost all of them. We shared 3 with the neighbor kids, and I had to pack a few away so Kollin could get some. ;)
This recipe also contains NO flour at all, its a good one to add to your gluten free recipes.
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
In a bowl stir all ingredients until combined. Shape level tablespoons into balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks. Yield about 2 doz.
Here are the (few) changes I did. My cookie dough balls were more than a tablespoon, so I only got 18 cookies. And my oven runs hot so they only cooked for just under 15 minutes. Its important to let them cool for 5 minutes otherwise they will just crumble and fall apart. The cool down helps them set and firm up. But after that, enjoy them with a glass of cold milk! YUM!
