I call them desperation cookies.

Let’s face it, sometimes you just really, really need acookie.

Its desperation cookie time.

Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

This is when I turn to our favorite and easiest recipe around: a four-ingredient cookie.

These peanut butter cookies may become your new favorite.

Dont let the name fool you.

I bake these cookies even when times arent desperate.

They are just that good.

There’s no flour, no creaming butter, nothing fancy.

They will be able to pull this off.

This is a stir-together recipe that you cant mess up.

(And believe me, I have ruined my share of cookies.)

Just writing this makes me want to turn on the oven and stir together a batch.
