It’s another dark and gloomy day outside at Mylifeasbrig Headquarters so I thought I would do some baking, except I didn’t have many ingredients to work with. I had no milk, one egg, very little butter and no brown sugar! In case you're worried about how I live, I do my grocery shopping on Fridays, for no apparent reason!
Anyway, I thought baking would be impossible; WRONG-O! I found an old cookbook (from 1990, so it’s practically ancient) of my mom’s titled “4 Ingredient Cookbook”. I checked the index and voila! There was a few recipes for peanut butter cookies.

Today I am sharing with you how I took that recipe and with a few changes, made it so much better! I’m calling these cookies my “Easy Peasy Peanut Butter Cookies”, patent pending….(not really).
Here's a little preview to keep you interested:
Okay now that you're drooling on your laptop, here are the original ingredients:
•
1 cup chunky PB
•
1 egg
•
1 cup sugar
•
1 tsp vanilla
And that’s it! How did they expect for peanut butter cookies to come out magically delicious with only four ingredients, I will never know!
Here’s what I used to shake things up:
•
1 cup of smooth PB
•
1 egg
•
A little less than a cup of sugar (I don’t like things overly sweet, but you can use the whole cup if you prefer)
•
1 tsp vanilla
•
1 tsp baking soda
•
A sprinkle of flour (to bind the batter a bit more because I found the batter to be very wet)
Even though this recipe is no longer four ingredients, it’s still just as easy to prepare. I literally just put all of these ingredients into a small mixing bowl and mixed with a SPOON! NO ELECTRIC MIXER NEEDED!
After all the ingredients are combined I formed the batter into 1 inch balls and placed on a greased baking sheet. Before I put them in the oven I pressed them down with a fork so it formed a crisscross pattern.
These cookies bake at 350 degrees for a very strict 10 minutes. If I had left them in the oven any longer, I wouldn’t have anything to write about today! If you did it all right, (and I don't see how you can screw this up!) they should look like this:
