Lots of people are getting into baking during the coronavirus quarantine period, as they have more time on their hands.
It’s a great activity to do with kids who aren’t at school.
But with some things still in short supply in supermarkets and people being told not to go out for essentials, getting lots of ingredients might not be straightforward.
So, we bring you the three-ingredient cookies.
All you need for these is some peanut butter, one egg and some sugar.
If you have some chocolate chips (or just a bar you can break up) you can add those too but they’re not essential.
You need:
200g peanut butter (both crunchy and smooth work fine)
175g caster sugar (other sugars will work too if you can’t find caster)
1 egg
Method:
Heat your oven to 180g and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Mix the peanut butter together in a bowl until well combined. Add the egg and mix to form a dough.
Roll them into 1 inch balls and place them a few inches apart on the sheet.
Flatten them with a fork in a criss cross pattern.
Cook them for 10-12 minutes until they are golden around the edges and then let them cool.
You can keep them in an airtight container for three days, or freeze the dough before baking it and cook them from frozen (by adding two more minutes to the cooking time), whenever you need a quick treat.
If peanut butter cookies aren’t your thing, try some easy cakes, scones, pancakes or meringues with storecupboard ingredients.
