These delicious little gems are just the thing when you’re craving a cookie but don’t want all the sugar and fat traditional peanut butter cookies contain. It’s hard to wait, we know, but let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them, as they become crunchier as they cool.

5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put all the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Scoop out the dough into 1 tablespoon portions and place a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press a fork into the top of each cookie to flatten it slightly. Bake until the bottom edges are beginning to brown, 18–20 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet; they will firm up as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
