I love this recipe and its so easy and tastes good too..
Use: 1 Egg
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Cup of Peanut Butter
Mix the ingredients together and roll them in inch balls thru sugar on a plate then put on a nongreased cookie sheet.Use a fork to make a criss-cross on top..Then bake for about 8 minutes on 350 degrees..When they come out sprinkle just a small pinch of sugar on top and they are done..This recipe makes about 20 cookies..Enjoy!
Ps.My daughter was in a hurry making things for a get together for Christmas..She called me laughing and telling me she mixed up the ingredients for this recipe..She said"Mom you wont believe this I mixed 1 egg,1 jar of peanut butter and a cup of flour..Im glad I didnt get any of that batch!lol For a change on this recipe you could always add a few chocolate chip morsels to the tops of the cookies for that" Reeces Pieces" taste.

Wow, sounds so quick and easy. Thanks!

Have to try this one! The grandkids could make them, and I could even let the little guy in on the fun. He felt left out when his sis was making the cocoa drops. I just couldn't let him stir that hot mixture. Have you ever tried having two little ones on chairs at a hot stove at the same time? this grandma is too nervous for that!!LOL

What ... NO FLOUR????? How does it 'stay' together?

dream56 10-15-2010 04:36 AM

I'm making cookies today and will give it a try - thanks.

T-Bones mom 10-15-2010 06:30 AM

Sounds good. Yes I have had two little ones on chairs helping me cook at the same time. I pay more attention to them than the recipe.

KatFish 10-15-2010 09:31 AM

Thanks for the reminder to make some of these cookies. This was one of my daughters favorite to make cookies when they were younger, and with only 3 ingredients was very easy to remember and to make.

The egg acts as the binding agent :D

Thank you for sharing this with us :D:D:D

Great fast recipe. Thanks.

teacherbailey 10-16-2010 03:38 AM

Warning: these are ADDICTIVE!!!!!!

leatheflea 10-16-2010 03:58 AM

These are great! Very rich! My mom has been making them since I was little. Ive tried other peanut butter cookies and none of them add up to this one. We add choc chips to ours sometimes. And so easy! Yummy!

Cam22 10-16-2010 07:24 AM

these melt in your mouth. You can also use Splenda in place of the sugar

I'm on a low carb diet right now - but this is going in my recipe book anyway! :wink:

Thanks for the Recipe! :thumbup:

debbieoh 10-16-2010 03:54 PM

Don't you have to use flour? sugar and peanut butter won't it just melt

craftybear 10-17-2010 02:53 PM

sounds yummy, thank you

dorilou58 10-20-2010 05:06 AM

The sugar holds it together as well as the egg...

np3 10-22-2010 07:10 PM

Thanks!

Pickles 10-24-2010 05:06 PM

quiltinghere 10-24-2010 05:12 PM

guess I'll have to give it a try

wanabquilter 10-29-2010 09:46 PM

take this recipe and double it. Put half in the bottom of the a pan. Then add a mixture of one 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 c. sugar and 1 eggs. Beat til creamy and place over cookie dough. Then take the rest of your cookie dough and crumble it over cheese mixture bake at 350 for 35 to 40 min. let cool for 30 min. then cut into squares. My daugthers mother-law made these with the peanut butter recipes. They melt right in your mouth

cassiemae 11-10-2010 01:28 PM

I make these for my sister every year because she has celiac disease and has to avoid gluten. Even peolpe who don't have that problem love these. You might want to "advertise" these as Gluten Free. :-)

Drooling here! I have made these cookies with just about every kind of add in; peanuts, m&ms, raisins, but this version looks absolutely delish!

grammyp 11-20-2010 07:58 PM

dorilou58 11-21-2010 01:04 AM

Yes, but the memories it brings with 4 at the stove for me.
