I don't know about you, but after dinner I always want something a little bit sweet. BUT I don't really want to spend time baking up an extravagant dessert. Here is the perfect solution... only 4 ingredients and such an easy dessert recipe, try these peanut butter cookies with only 4 ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes.
Only 4 ingredients and so tasty, these peanut butter cookies are a great last minute treat. It's also a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen. They can help make this quick and easy dessert without making a big mess.
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
-
Stir together peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl until combined; shape dough into 1-inch balls
-
Place balls 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets (I like to use parchment paper for easy clean up), and flatten gently with a fork.
-
Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
To make this recipe even more fun with the kids, pick a few extra ingredients to add to the cookies - chocolate chips, toffee bits or M&Ms are some of my favs!
