From Tamara's Kitchen...: Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

I don't know about you but I LOVE peanut butter. AND I love cookies. But peanut butter cookies often seem "diluted" with the multitude of ingredients that they include (flour, butter, etc.). Well here is a simple solution to that problem. How about a peanut butter cookie with only 3 ingredients, plus chocolate chips? They'll probably be the peanut butteriest cookies you'll ever eat. I DROOL just thinking about them. My kids all make them because the recipe is easy to memorize. Give it a try!

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c peanut butter
1 c sugar
1 egg
handful of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Mix ingredients and drop by the spoonful on a cookie sheet (this recipe fills a large cookie sheet). I use small or medium sized PC cookie scoop. Bake 10-15 minutes or until no longer dark and doughy in the middle (12 minutes is usually spot on for me).

DON'T BE INTIMIDATED!!

Many people feel intimidated by recipes with a long list of ingredients or more than four lines of instructions. DON'T BE INTIMIDATED! If you choose a recipe, place it in front of you. BEFORE diving into it (1) Read it through once, (2) Chop anything that needs to be chopped and have it ready to use (see my shout out to weekly menus about having the food you need on hand), (3) get out any bowls and/or pans, cookie sheets, cooking utensils, etc. you will need.
Then just follow the instructions, one step at a time. Don't feel rushed. You already have everything out and ready to go!
All it takes is planning ahead and confidence, which comes from time and experience! Don't think there are masters chefs, and then there is you. Master chefs got where they are by being brave and practicing, practicing, practicing. No matter who you are, you can create any dish you want!
So get practicing and bring out the master chef in you!
