No really, that’s it. Mix it up, and roll it into balls. Bake and you’re done.

I whipped up a batch of these for a dinner party after a fancy brownie recipe failed. (The brownies came out of the oven completely underbaked in the middle! Whoops!) Luckily these 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies saved the day! And best of all, they were a hit at the party!
