Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe Without Butter
Soft, chewy, and packed with bold peanut butter flavor, these butterless peanut butter cookies are an easy, butter-free treat. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with simple ingredients!
Equipment
- parchment paper
- Large Cookie Sheet
- 2 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until it is smooth and well-blended.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1-inch cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Press the tines of a fork into the top of each dough ball, forming a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown. The top of the cookies should still look slightly soft—this ensures tender cookies.
- Let the cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cooled cookies to a wire rack.
Notes
Storage and Freezing
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
