Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

Ah, the joys of being back at school.

It actually is kind of nice to be back at good old Denison. Although I had the most amazing time abroad it's nice to get back to somewhat of a schedule. More than that I am ecstatic to see all my friends, many of whom I had not seen since last May.

Coming back to school in the Spring means getting thrown into the recruitment process. I happily took on the role of baking for the whole thang.
We made cake pops, canapes, and lots of other treats.

Soooooo so cute! 

There is not too much to report school wise. I am in an astronomy class and it is seriously making me consider dropping this whole baking thing and becoming an astronomer/astronaut.

Could be a promising career...

Anyway, I am here to tell you about these little guys

These cookies require three ingredients: Peanut Butter, Sugar, and Eggs. (Hershey Kisses can be added if you like)

Seriously like when I say these are the easiest peanut butter cookies, I am not joking.

The ratios are simple, and the baking is quick. You can whip them up in less than an hour.

They also taste amazing. They stay chewy once they've cooled and it is not one of those recipes that makes four million cookies that you do not know what to do with. You need to go make them right now. I am positive you have the ingredients in your kitchen right now.

Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

Yields 2 Dozen

• 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter (Crunchy works too and tastes delicious!)
• 1 Cup Sugar, plus extra for rolling
• 1 Egg
• 1 Package Hershey Kisses, wrappers removed (if you desire)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Blend peanut butter, sugar, and the egg in a bowl until smooth. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in a bowl of extra sugar. Place on baking sheet 1 inch apart. Here you can either leave them be or press them down with a fork making a criss-cross. If you are planning on putting Hershey Kisses on them, do not press them down with a fork.

Bake for about 10 minutes until tops have cracked and are lightly brown. When you remove them from the oven press the Hershey Kisses into their centers immediately. Let cool before serving/eating!
