I heard about these cookies. But I didn't fully believe that they would be yummy with only 3 ingredients until I tried them for myself. Verdict? They are, indeed, quite delectable.

I like coconut two ways: like this and on Samoas (or "Caramel deLites" as the Girl Scouts now call them). I don't like coconut water, coconut cake, raw coconut, coconut in an Almond Joy, coconut rum...you get the idea. NADA! But I LOVE this stuff. Weird, I know. So this is my "secret" ingredient that puts a tasty spin on the cookies without adding another ingredient.
Side note: the above goodness is also non-GMO verified...if you're into that as I currently am [trying to be]. :)
On to the recipe...!
Ingredients
1 cup [coconut] peanut butter -- crunchy, creamy, it doesn't matter!
1 cup sugar
1 egg
*Okay, I confess. I cheated. I'm sorry. I read the reviews from allrecipes.com and wound up adding a [little more than a] dash of baking soda and vanilla extract to the mixture. They're probably still just as good without those? I just haven't tried the original recipe yet. AHH! I broke the 3 ingredient rule!! I'm sorry again! :)
Directions (from this site)
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Combine the peanut butter, white sugar and egg. Mix until smooth.
3. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 6 to 8 minutes. Do not overbake! These cookies are best when they are still soft and just barely brown on the bottoms.
*Mine took closer to 11-13 minutes to bake.
One of my favorite things about these cookies are that they're actually better the next day (or after they cool completely). That never happens! Cookies are always the best fresh out of the oven, right?! I suppose I prefer the taste of peanut butter when it's not warm. :)
Have you tried these?! Even my I-don't-like-peanut-butter hubby consumed his fair share of these yummies.
Cheers to the easiest cookie to bake ever!
