Ingredients Required
With just simple four ingredients you can bake these crispy cookies. You need:
Peanut Butter
Sugar
Egg
Vanilla Extract
Use Creamy Peanut Butter
It is important to use creamy peanut butter for this recipe. The pieces of peanuts and oil in the peanut butter will give the richness and crispiness to these cookies. And because of it you wouldn’t need to go through the hassle of adding flour or butter to your batter.
I use the full fat peanut butter and would suggest to not use reduced fat peanut butter for this recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can make the dough and put it in refrigerator for up to three days in advance. When you want to bake, simply take out the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes to bring it to room temperature. The butter in the dough would have hardened and it would need some time to loosen up.
