How To Make 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies

• 1

  Lightly grease a couple of baking pans with a bit of Crisco All Vegetable Shortening. Then preheat the oven to 350° F.
• 2

  In a medium-sized bowl, add the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
• 3

  Using a small cookie scoop (or a spoon), scoop up about 1 Tablespoon of the cookie dough, shape cookie dough into round balls, and place on prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space cookie dough about 1 1/2 inches apart.
• 4

  Delicately press the cookie dough with the prongs of a fork, to slightly flatten the cookie dough. (See *Note below.)
• 5

  Place the baking pan in the oven and bake the cookie dough for 6 to 8 minutes. I baked mine for 7 minutes, then immediately removed the baking pan from the oven. The cookies are done when the bottoms barely begin to brown.
• 6

  Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

  *Note: The last 2 cookies I did not flatten them with a fork, and I only baked them for 7 minutes, and removed them from the baking pan immediately after I took them from the oven.

  **Additional Note: I did want to mention, the Hampton Farms Creamy Peanut Butter, has less salt, less sugar, and less fat. Both my husband and I really enjoy it!
