Peanut Butter Cookies {4 Ingredient}

Sometimes there is nothing better than a homemade cookie. About the only thing I can think of the might be better is a super easy homemade cookie like these 4 ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies!

Holy yumminess batman!

I couldn’t believe these little babies were so good and were so quick to make.

Dangerously quick to make.

A little sugar, peanut butter, an egg and some vanilla and that is it.

I made a double batch in about the same time as I make a single batch of  the Peanut Butter Cookie recipe I am known for…

Ya see in my family, I have been THE Peanut Butter Cookie Baker– long before I was ever a blogger. In fact, I have had the honor since I was a little girl. I am not sure how it all began, but for as long as I can remember, if there was a Peanut Butter Cookie to be made, I was happily baking away in the kitchen and serving up warm cookies to my dad, mom and Aunt Lou. The tradition continued when I had my own family and now Puddie and Miss Add cheer at the smell of Peanut Butter in the oven!

So it was only natural that when Aunt Lou and the fam were up a few weekends ago for the Warrior Dash, I decided to make some Peanut Butter Cookies.

But instead of grabbing for my tried a true cookie recipe that involved 9 ingredients, I decided to try one I found in the new Gooseberry Patch Cookbook: Everyday Simple Suppers (enter to win a copy) that only had four ingredients.

The verdict?

Everyone loved them. My double batch was gone in less than 24 hours! So which will this Peanut Butter Cookie Baker be making in the future? I for one will be keeping both recipes in my recipe box for future use! This recipe was super quick and made a smaller, sugar-based cookie with a bit more crunch. My usual recipe takes a bit longer and more ingredients resulting in a larger, chewier flour-based cookie that expands a bit. And this girl loves options and the flavor of both 😉

What a great way to finish out Simple Suppers Week with a sweet treat!
