Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies (Flourless!)

When I first ran across this recipe in my Taste of Home Best Loved Cookie & Bar book, I was a little worried. I mean, this recipe only has three ingredients and none of them are flour! But it was a cinch to put together and they turned out beautifully.

1 egg, Beaten
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Peanut Butter (I’ve used Peter Pan both crunchy and creamy and it turned out fine either way)

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Roll level tablespoons of batter into balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet and flatten with a fork dipped in flour (to prevent sticking). Bake at 350 for about 18 minutes and remove to wire racks to cool. Makes about 2 dozen.
