I think I am a reasonably good cook. Give me a carcass and I can prepare it in more delicious ways than one. Baking, on the other hand, is another story. Give me flour and butter or yeast and baking powder and I won’t know what to do if my life depended on their rising and falling in the oven.

But with super simple recipes like this one I found on a package of C&H sugar for unbelievable three ingredient peanut butter cookies, I am able to fake it ’til I make it.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies with only three ingredients! Just eggs, sugar, and peanut butter to make the most amazing gluten-free treat!

These flourless peanut butter cookies are truly unbelievable! All you need are 1 egg, 1 cup of peanut butter, and 1 cup of sugar (vanilla extract totally optional) for the most amazing homemade cookies you’ll ever have! They’re so quick and easy to make, you won’t believe the intense peanut butter flavor in every bite. And gluten-free, too!

These peanut butter cookies recipe is amazing as is but if you’re like me and can’t leave great things alone, I have a few suggestions below on how to take them up a notch. 🙂

Tips on Making Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies:

  • Swap the regular sugar with brown sugar for a chewier texture.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup chopped unsalted peanuts for extra crunch.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance flavor.

Need more cookies in your life? These Peanut Butter Cornflakes Cookies are super easy to make, too! These Chocolate Chip Cookies, howver, require a bit more patience but are definitely worth the waith. You need these Easy and Delicious Ways to Spruce up Sugar Cookie Dough in your life.

      Hello Tom,

      No, the peanut butter won’t melt, the egg act as the binder. Try the recipe, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how the it works 🙂

      Hey Courtney! If I was going to convert this to a vegan recipe, do you think if I just used a flax egg instead of a regular egg?

    I’m the same way with baking. I’m a lousy baker, but good cook.

    These cookies seem so easy even I couldn’t mess them up.

    Just made this with the same amount substitution of stevia for sugar! Amazing! Was going to try an egg white instead of the whole egg but didn’t want to get too crazy

    Just wondered if you have tried Stevia as a replacement for the sugar?

      I am sorry, Amy, but I haven’t. The recipe calls for a lot of sugar and substituting stevia is worth trying. 🙂

      They’re more crunchy than chewy. Pretty good, hope you try them.

    I made these today – I left the cookies in balls and rolled them in sugar…baked them as stated and then put Hershey kisses on top. They turned out to be excellent peanut butter blossoms 🙂

    I just made this recipe and the cookies are delicious! I used chunky peanut butter to give the cookies some crunch, but can’t wait to make them with smooth. I used a large cookie scoop and cooked them for 15-17 minutes. Thanks for sharing! I love how simple this recipe is and the finished product is super yummy 🙂

      Hello Arcy

      The recipe doesn’t use flour or baking powder. All you need is one egg, 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup peanut butter, that’s it. 🙂
