3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today is my first post of the year for the Secret Recipe Club and boy do I have a great recipe today!  It’s easy, fast, gluten free, so darn delicious and healthy!!

These are Heather’s Recipe from It’s Yummy to My Tummy’s Blog.  Heather’s blog is new to me and I had so much fun searching through all of her recipes.  I just couldn’t decide what one to make, but you know me and peanut butter, my heart and stomach was telling me to make them and make them now!  I am sure glad I did!  These cookies have the most rich peanut butter taste than any peanut butter cookie I have ever had.  They are pure peanut butter heaven!!

They are so easy to make to!!  Only 3 ingredients  peanut butter, egg and sugar!  Love it!  You can whip these bad boys together in a matter of minutes, no mixer needed, just a strong hand to mix with a spoon!  Actually I got my hands dirty and used them to bring this cookie together!  When I made these cookies to add a little texture, I also through in some chopped cashews for a little bit of a crunch!  Perfect!  I told my Husband he could have a few, key word a few, to take to work.  He took the whole batch!!  I came home from work, wanting to have one of these cookies and when I went to grab one or two, they were gone!  I called him ASAP and asked where are the cookies and he said I took them!  He took all of them!!!  ALL OF THEM!!!  Now you must know I never call my Husband at work, but it was a peanut butter emergency and he seemed shocked that I called.  I said do you have any left?  He said yah, I said good, bring them home and you know what he did?  He ate them!!  He didn’t bring any home for me at all!!  I was so sad!  Lucky I always keep spare PB around so I can make more!!  That darn Husband of mine!  Remember he doesn’t like peanut butter!  I think he just says that to mess with me!!!
