Are you suffering from cabin fever brought on by the latest snow storm? Or are you just one of those die-hard Peanut Butter fans like my mom and my college roommate, obsessed with everything Peanut Butter flavored? Well, then you’ve got to try baking these super easy, rich and delicious, Soft Baked Peanut Butter Cookies that only calls for four ingredients that you definitely, most-likely, almost positively already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Wah-Bam! Easy, right? Not only are they easy, but they’re gluten-free and take only 10 minutes to bake!
• Preheat your over to 325 degrees.
• Mix all four ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Scoop out about a teaspoon of cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Then, wet the back of a fork with water, and dip into sugar. Flatten out cookies with this sugar-covered fork, making basically an X with your fork imprints.
• Slide into oven and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes before you enjoy with an iced cold glass of milk.
