the most simple peanut butter cookie recipe in the world! :)

[technodoll]

I didn't believe these could be so good until I tried them, oh my gosh! NOM NOM NOM!

In a bowl, beat 1 large egg.

Add 1 cup of white sugar and, if you want, a bit of vanilla - mix well.

Add 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter - mix.

Add 1/2 cup of flour and a bit of cinnamon, if you like - mix.

Spoon dough the size you want onto a greased cookie sheet, flatten a bit.

Bake for 12 minutes at 350F, let cool - and enjoy!

(makes a large batch!)

This is so similar to a recipe I just found from one of my favorite recipe blogs:

Self rising or plain flour?

plain flour - it's hard to mess up this recipe, some people don't even add flour at all and it apparently works.

the "original" recipe calls for 1 egg, 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup crunchy peanut butter and that is IT.

however by adding a few ingredients it's really a lovely cookie... one bowl, one spoon, one measuring cup

i made them again yesterday and used whole wheat flour instead of white, used half brown sugar and half white, added toasted sesame seeds in the mix...

YUMMY!!

nope, sorry - I've got a simpler one. Open a box of chocolate chip cookies, smear PB on the top. DONE!

Seriously though, that sounds super yummy!
