2 Ingredient Soft Peanut Butter Cookies
These peanut butter cookies come out soft and puffy. They are very easy to make with just 2 ingredients and don't need any flour, butter or eggs.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (128 g) creamy peanut butter
- 4 tbsp (24 g) powdered sugar, (can add 1-2 more tbsp for sweeter cookies)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add peanut butter and sugar. Stir until sugar is completely incorporated into the peanut butter. You can taste the dough and if you don't think it is sweet enough, you can add 1-2 tbsp more sugar.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop and scoop up cookie dough. Release it onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with rest of the dough. Use your fingers to gently smooth the surface of each dough ball.
- Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes or until edges turn a darker shade of brown and surface of the cookies are dry and slightly cracked. Let cookies cool completely on cookie sheet before removing them with a cookie spatula.
Notes
- This is a small batch recipe. The cookies are quite rich in peanut butter flavor, so it's hard to eat more than one at a time. If you want more cookies, you can double the recipe.
- These cookies are very soft. Because there is no egg acting as a binding agent, the cookies will crumble more easily.
- I used natural peanut butter but it can be made with regular peanut butter. This recipe works best with powdered sugar. You can make your own powdered sugar by blending white sugar in food processor or blender until it becomes powder consistency. See post for why powdered sugar is used in this recipe instead of regular granular sugar.
- Storage tips are discussed in the post.
