peanut butter cookies February 24 2016

March 1^st is “National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day”! For me, that’s every day… In celebration, here is a five-ingredient, easy peasy Peanut Butter Cookie recipe that you’ll go nuts for!

What You’ll Need

2 cups / 1 jar of chunky or creamy Peanut Butter

1 ½ cup of packed Light Brown Sugar

2 large Eggs

1 ½ teaspoon Baking Soda

½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

What You’ll Do

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking to pan (and for easy clean-up!)

Add Peanut Butter, Brown Sugar, Eggs, Baking Soda and Vanilla Extract to a large mixing bowl

Beat the ingredients with either an electric mixer or a large spoon (I find the spoon easier to clean)

Drop teaspoons of cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 1 ½ inch apart to allow for spreading

Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until cookies puff and edges begin to brown

Let them cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a rack to cool (or plate to eat!)

Enjoy!
