I love these cookies.

First off – it’s tough to beat a 3-ingredient cookie.  Especially one that tastes this good.

But add chocolate:  pure, unadulterated awesomeness.

And the darn things taste like Reeses peanut butter cups!

Seriously.

Okay, look at that photo.  Four things in this cookie.

That’s it.

You have no excuse not to make these.

First, mix together some peanut butter, sugar, and an egg.

Then stir in chocolate chips.

Roll up some dough, flatten with fork, sprinkle with extra sugar.

Try not to devour them before you bake them.

My little helping hands decided the remaining chocolate chips should be spread over the counter.

Easier access.  :)

And my oldest daughter decided that we should put chocolate chips on top of most of the cookies before baking them, but, just so you know, they didn’t stick.

Look at that beautifulness.

These cookies are seriously addicting.  Very tempting.

I may have to make half a batch next time.

{And I think I forgot to include the yield amount in the printable recipe… it makes 24 cookies.}

And, below, is a photo of little fingers making off with my photo props.  :)

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Shape a generous teaspoonful of the batter into a circle. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten by pressing a fork into the top in an X pattern.

Generously sprinkle granulated sugar over the top of the cookies.

Bake until set, about 18 minutes.

Cool on pan for two minutes, then move to wire racks to cool.
