3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies: fast, easy gluten-free dessert recipe you can throw together for company with just a few steps and simple ingredients!Ladies and gents, get your tall, cold glass of milk ready because you are gonna need it! 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies is the best cookie recipe to have on hand.

Peanut butter cookies remind me of my childhood. They were a cookie, along with my mom’s Cut-Out Sugar Cookies, I made with my mom often.

I remember always looking forward to the part where I make the criss-cross pattern with the fork before baking them. These cookies aren’t super chewy, a little bit crispy, and a great gluten-free cookie option where you will not miss the gluten.

You know those nights where you are craving cookies and don’t feel like getting 493020294 ingredients out and making a huge mess of your kitchen? That may be every night for me. Sometimes I need the chocolate and make my Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies. If I can do without the chocolate, I make these 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies.

If you are craving peanut butter AND chocolate, I also have you covered. A few of my favorite cookie recipes are these Peanut Butter Chocolate Soft & Chewy Crinkle Cookies and my famous Levain copy-cat Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. Chocolate and peanut butter together is God’s gift to the food world. I’m also digging these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.

Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on these3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies before baking, if desired. If you want to take it to the next level, melt some semi-sweet or milk chocolate (almond bark or the melting discs work best), dip them in the melted chocolate and set them in the fridge to chill until the chocolate hardens. They taste exactly like a Reese’s peanut butter cup that way!

I prefer them without the chocolate so they are not super rich for just an every day cookie. Whatever you decide to do, they will hit the spot.

Even if you do not like peanut butter you won’t be able to stop eating these 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies!
