Cookiefest Day 3: Peanut Butter Cookies and Red Hot Chai

Sometimes it’s fantastic to really get complicated with your cooking; it can be so relaxing to find a really intricate recipe, especially for baking, and to carefully and precisely measure, sift, fold, roll, cut, and bake.

Sometimes, though, you just want a damn cookie, and you want it NOW. And you totally forgot to buy flour.

For those times, there are peanut butter cookies. I love these things. And Red Hot rooibos chai is the perfect complement – the extreme spiciness of the cayenne cuts right through the richness of the peanut butter. Which means that you can both eat more cookies, and drink more tea! Win-win!

Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients
1c peanut butter (either chunky or smooth; your choice)
1c sugar
1 egg

Procedure

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Do not overbake! These cookies are best when they are still soft and just barely brown on the bottoms.
