Cook Time: 10 minutes

People are shocked when they learn these soft and flavorful peanut butter cookies use 3 simple ingredients and are gluten free! No flour in this recipe, just sugar, an egg and of course peanut butter.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • Unwrapped Hershey's Kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Put sugar, egg and peanut butter in bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape dough into 1-inch small balls. Place the dough balls 2” apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are a very light golden brown. (Check the bottom of the cookies often to prevent burning.)
  5. Remove cookies from oven.
  6. Wait 2 minutes then push an unwrapped chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Allow to cool thoroughly before storing in a tight container.

Maybe it’s my love for peanut butter that has me making these time and time again. After all, I have a whole blog FILLED with peanut butter recipes!

Another one of my all-time favorite peanut butter cookie recipes is my No-Bake Oatmeal Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. You still get that delicious mix of flavors, but you never have to turn on the oven!

They’re not technically cookies, but they’ll do the trick if you’re craving chocolatey, peanut butter goodness!
