Easy Peanut Cookies!

Do you ever just need a quick cookie fix? Get that sweet tooth for a soft and chewy peanut butter cookie? Your running short on time? Then this super easy peanut butter cookie recipe is perfect for you. You only need 3 ingredients so their super easy to make when your running low on grocerys or are shopping on a budget but still want to make a fun dessert or snack. You can also make these cookies with the option of haveing them refined sugar free by using coconut sugar, which I sometimes love to use as it adds a slight caramel flavour and less crystalised texture than caster sugar can sometimes give.

You can also change this recpie up to suit your prefences, allergys and what you have at home. I persanolly like to use crunchy peanut butter for this recipe but you could use smooth peanut butter, almound butter, hazelnut butter, or if your not big on nut butters you could try this recipe with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter. This recipe is also great as it is naturally gluten free and dairy free, so is perfect if you want to make a snack to share at a BBQ that everyone can enjoy or trying to come up with a present option for a gluten or dairy free freind.

I came up with the Idea for this recipe as I was experienting with makeing gluten free choclate scones which required a beaten egg glaze and as I was only makeing 3 experiemntal scones I used very little of the egg. This got me googling super easy recpies that use one egg, which to my suprise didn't come up with very many good ideas. There was mainly time consuming quiches or questionable looking egg bites. Therefore I came up with this recpie based on the ingredients that I had around at me.

There is also no need for any specalist equitment for this recipe, with only a bowl, spoons and a tray needed for this recipe and obviously an oven to bake them in to! (Although you could experiemnt with them going in the air fryer). These ones would be super easy and fun to do with kids to as there so simple to make.
