First of all, I want to say “Hello” to everyone and I’m hoping you’re all safe and healthy. While the ‘Shelter in Place’ has kept many at home, I’ve not been one of them – as is the case for many of you I’m sure. I work for a company that supports agriculture. My hours have temporarily increased and I’m working extra days. At the end of the day, I’m not exactly a bundle of energy when I get home. I’m not doing a lot of cooking or baking. Okay, to be honest, I’m not cooking or baking AT ALL. And I just haven’t been very motivated to write either. And now, time for a “Shout Out” to my hubby, Kevin, who’s taken on laundry, dishes and having dinner on the table for us, every night, when I get home! Woohoo!! Yay Kevin! Now if I could just get him to write a couple guest posts for me. Hhhmmm…
But… just because I’m super busy, doesn’t mean I’m not craving a good cookie. Good news for me was that, today, I didn’t have to go into work until after lunch. I’d have time to bake cookies, but not a ton of time. I had to complete the whole process, from start to finish, in about 45 minutes to an hour – because I had my grandson Duke for the morning and that’s about all you get from him in his morning nap. I decided to pull out a recipe that is an oldie but a goodie, a three ingredient peanut butter cookie; which we started making about 15 years ago, when Bradley was diagnosed with his wheat, corn and soy allergies.
I call this recipe “Brenda’s Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies” because I’ve kind of made it my own – by using the JUST Egg instead of one egg, which the original recipe called for.
Brenda’s Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons* JUST Egg
(JUST Egg link below.)
If you want, you can add “Enjoy Life Semi Sweet Mini Chips”. (Which technically makes these a four ingredient cookie, but because they’re optional, I’m not counting them.)
Put all three ingredients in mixing bowl. Stir. (At this point, if you’re so inclined, and feeling a little wild, go ahead and add those ”Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chips”, you rebel.) Roll cookies into balls, but you don’t have to, as you will see in my pictures. Dip fork in water and put hash marks on each cookie.
Bake 9-10 minutes.
That’s it! And I mixed up and baked the cookies, took pics and got to eat two cookies before Duke woke up.
*You’ll notice in my pic I mention the cookies are a little flat & I blame that on the fact that I used ¼ cup JUST Egg. So that’s why I say use 3 Tablespoons JUST Egg.
Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping and please stay safe!
