Worry not, on the occasion of National Peanut Butter Cookie Day, which is on June 12, we bring to you a simple recipe that will require only three ingredients and will cook in a lot less time.

Ingredients:

Peanut butter- 1 cup

Sugar- ½ cups

Egg- 1 cup

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF
  • Take a large bowl and sift together peanut butter, sugar, and eggs until a thick dough forms
  • Scoop out a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball using your palms. Repeat the process to turn the whole dough into small balls. Flatten each ball to take up the shape of a cookie.
  • Spread a nonstick cooking sheet and place the cookies on it
  • Flatten them some more by lightly pushing a fork down on the surface before pressing the tool horizontally atop the dough. It helps carve the criss-cross pattern, which peanut butter cookies typically have.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until their bottoms are golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and allow them to cool.
  • Enjoy them with tea.
