2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Meltaway Cookies
These peanut butter cookies are soft and melt in your mouth as you eat them. They are very easy to make and great for gifting or bringing to a party.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (242 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (70 g) powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add peanut butter and sugar. Stir until sugar is completely incorporated into the peanut butter and a thick dough forms.
- Using a 2 tsp cookie scoop, scoop the dough and release onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing dough balls one inch apart.
- Using your fingertips or the back of a metal spoon, gently smooth just the surface of the cookie balls, but be careful not to flatten them.
- Place cookies in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. The surface of the cookies should no longer look wet and they should be slightly cracked. Let cookies cool completely before removing them from the cookie sheet. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- You don't want to use clumpy powdered sugar for this recipe because it will be hard to mix out the clumps. I recommend using a fresh box/bag or if your powdered sugar is clumpy, run it through a fine mesh strainer or blender to break up the clumps before using.
- I have only tested this recipe with natural peanut butter. I don't think it will work the same with regular peanut butter (peanut butter that has other oils added to it). I used salted and unsweetened natural peanut butter. Unsalted should also work but your cookies won't have any salt flavor.
- I used this 2 tsp cookie scoop.*
