This is one of my favorite simple peanut butter cookie recipes. THESE COOKIES ARE VERY SWEET they end up tasting more like candy than cookies. Add a 1/2 cup of flour or reduce sugar by 1/2 cup to achieve a less candylike taste.

How To Make mema's simple peanut butter cookie

Step 1

Combine eggs, sugar, peanut butter and flour (optional) until smooth.

Step 2

Using a tablespoon, spoon the dough onto a nonstick or greased cookie sheet approximately 2 inches apart.
Step 3

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. NOTE: These cookies can be baked for as little as 6 minutes depending on your oven, altitude, etc. Adjust baking time accordingly
Step 4

Let the cookies cool for about 1 minute
Step 5

Place unwrapped Hugs or Kisses in the center of the cookie, pressing down slightly to ensure the candy stays in place. NOTE: Your candy will melt when it touches the warm cookie. No need to worry! The candy will harden again as the cookies cool.
Step 6

Once cookies have cooled, they can be stored in an airtight plastic container with waxpaper seperating the layers.
