Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

I've always liked peanut butter cookies, but generally they are a bit too dry and crumbly for my liking.  The exception is this recipe, which contains only 4 ingredients!  They are the most peanut-buttery peanut butter cookies, they are not at all dry, and they are a cinch to make!


Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups peanut butter

Oven Temperature: 350 degrees
Baking Time: 7-9 minutes; 7 for a softer cookie, 9 minutes for a soft cookie that is easier to transfer from the baking sheet to cooling rack. Bake longer, approximately 11 minutes, if you prefer a crispier cookie.

Take the above ingredients and place them into a mixing bowl.


Mix at a low speed, until all the ingredients are well combined.


Place blobs of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet.  Parchment paper is optional.


Take a lightly floured fork and make a cross-hatch impression on the top of the cookie for the traditional PB cookie look.  This is a sticky dough, so you'll need to dip the fork in flour after pressing down each cookie.




The cookies spread out a little bit as they bake, but not too much.  For the size I made them, I was able to get 2 dozen cookies from the dough.  If you were to make them smaller, obviously you'd end up with more cookies.
