Mariel here. We had our first dreary weekend of the summer, so I enlisted the help of my newly crowned two-year-old to help out for this month’s Secret Recipe Club. Clearly I was desperate for an activity, since this obviously ended in a huge – albeit tasty – mess.
For his maiden endeavor, we whipped up these simple yet satisfying 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies, courtesy of It’s Yummy to My Tummy. They’re the perfect treats to make with the kids on a rainy day – even when it’s muggy outside – since they only take about 8 minutes to bake (meaning you won’t overheat while waiting). Plus I love any recipe that doesn’t entail a trip to the grocery store, which usually ends with someone crying.

3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes about 16 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter, room temperature (chunky or creamy) – stock

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing until smooth using a wooden spoon.

I’m all about easy. These are super kid friendly so I’ll have to get the kids on it to make these!
mmmmmmm these are by far my favorite cookies, sometimes I add chocolate chips or a dash of cinnamon. Yum! Great pick!
Yup, I’m with you–A treat that requires no additional trip to the store with little ones is a winner!! Glad you found a perfect “feast on the cheap” recipe from my blog to share with your family 🙂
