If you've read through my blog then you know that I am a complete and total moron in the kitchen. Baking is not my thing and I almost always find a way to screw up even the easiest of recipes. Boxed mixes? Yeah I can screw those up like nobody's business!
About a year ago one of my good friends who has Celiac's shared a gluten free peanut butter cookie recipe with me. I had recently been tested for gluten allergies and my test came back positive for gliadin (a protein found in gluten). I begrudgingly started my gluten free diet but I was dying for some sweets and the gluten free cookies in the store were nasty and extremely overpriced. No thanks! I can eat cardboard for free!
My friend emailed me and said, "I have the perfect recipe for you. It's called the 3 ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe….and it's super easy". Now I must mention here that my friend did not invent this recipe. She found it on Allrecipes.com and it's a pretty popular recipe:

I changed it up just a teeny little bit though as I use Crisco instead of parchment paper but it's up to you.
Here is what you will need:
1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of white sugar
1 egg
Parchment paper or Crisco
Mix the 3 ingredients together and then lightly grease your cookie sheet with Crisco. Then place the cookie balls on the sheet. Take a fork and slightly flatten them and then make a criss cross pattern.
Bake at 350 degrees (on the top rack) for approx 6-8 minutes. Mine are usually done by 7 minutes. Do not overcook these! They will not taste very good and you will be pissed off that you wasted so much peanut butter since it does take quite a bit. Seriously 6-7 minutes is usually all you need, and they should never take more than 8 minutes! Then let the cookies cool before removing from the sheet or you'll have a big old crumbled mess (yes, I learned this the hard way the first time I made these and got anxious and tried to pry them off the sheet too fast).
This recipe makes about a dozen and a half cookies so I end up making 2 full batches because a dozen and a half cookies is NOT enough for a family of 7! So my advice would be to double the recipe above.
These are the best peanut butter cookies you will ever eat and I love them so much that I can no longer eat peanut butter cookies from other places because they just don't compare and I find myself wanting to say, "My peanut butter cookies are better than yours".

See, it's so easy even a 7 year old can do it!
Ignore my ghetto fabulous cookie sheets!
I don't invest much in bakeware since I hate to bake.
