I’ve made cookies with frosting in the dough before. I don’t typically like to make the same recipe twice (I know, I’m weird) but the great thing about these that there are so many possibilities. I mean, you can use any type of frosting you want.

This time, I used peanut butter frosting… uhhhhhhh yum. Then, I did somethin’ crazy and rolled them in hot chocolate mix. Like I said, crazy. Sometimes I worry about myself getting too crazy. I mean, just yesterday I lost $40 at the the casino. What’s next?!

But really, these cookies are super good. My mom hates peanut butter, but she loved these. Imagine how much you’ll like them if you love peanut butter.

What’s your favorite frosting flavor?

Easy 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

December 5, 2011 By Katie

peanut butter cookies with three ingredients

Thanksgiving is over and that means you deserve a break from cooking and baking.

These are the easiest cookies to make ever. You’ll barely have to move.

When I saw the recipe, I did a double-take, because seriously, what kind of cookie would turn out well with only 3 ingredients? These cookies.

Not only are these good, they’re daaang good. I can’t go to a party empty-handed, so I whipped these up real quick and 20 minutes later I had little bites of heaven. The outside is crisp and the inside is chewy. The only thing I would change next time is reducing the sugar. Not that they were too sweet, but I think I could’ve reduced it a little bit. These babies are delicious. I guess it’s true that simple is better.
