Ingredients

▢ 2 eggs
▢ 60 g granulated sugar
▢ 250 g smooth peanut butter for the best texture
▢ 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C (320°F convection / 160°C fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar using a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.
Add the peanut butter and baking powder to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive dough.
Scoop out portions of the dough using a tablespoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them approximately 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops develop light cracks.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Peanut Butter Preference: I always reach for smooth peanut butter because it makes the cookies so creamy and perfectly textured. It’s my go-to choice every time.

Adjusting Sweetness: If you’re craving something sweeter, try increasing the sugar to 100 g. I like to adjust the sweetness depending on my mood; sometimes a little extra sugar makes them feel more like a comforting treat.

Adding a Salty Touch: For that irresistible salty-sweet combo, sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top of the dough before baking. It’s a simple step that makes the peanut butter flavor even more delicious.

Gluten-Free Bonus: Since these cookies are naturally flourless, they’re perfect for gluten-free friends and family. It’s nice to have a treat everyone can enjoy.
