I don't know where this recipe originated, but I've always called them Home School Cookies and have been making them for over a decade. A friend who home schooled brought them to a band concert our kids were performing in and they were a hit! My kids absolutely love them and they are so easy you can make them with young children.
Flourless, four ingredient, Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 whole egg
1 cup granulated sugar
1 whole egg
1 tsp baking soda
Directions:
In a medium bowl beat peanut butter and sugar. Add egg and baking soda and mix well.
Roll the dough into small balls (about the size of a 1/2 dollar) and place on a greased cookie sheet (I spray mine lightly with Pam. Flatten each cookie with a fork using a criss-cross pattern. You can dip the fork in sugar before doing the criss-cross.
Bake at 350°F degrees for about 10 minutes or until you see them golden brown at the bottom. Cool 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies. You can double this easily as they should disappear rather quickly.
