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.

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!
