I make and take these to elderly friends right now along with recipe. 91 year old retired doctor told me he just made them and added Kahlúa to the Chocolate glaze. Love this!
Only 3 ingredients not counting the topping. Jim took a bite and said, “mmmm, fudge peanut butter” He could not believe there was not flour in these. These were very easy and quick to make
Peanut Butter Fudge Cookies
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Topping is optional: but yummy
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, melted
2 Tbsp peanuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350F. Combine sugar and egg. Add peanut butter; mix until blended.
Scoop cookies into cookie press or using cookie scoop – shape in to balls. (I have done both, and prefer the scoop to ball method. I waste too much in the press)
Add to baking stone or cookie sheet, 1 inch apart.
Bake 15 minutes or longer depending on your area – until cookies are set and light golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
Place chocolate morsels in small dish in microwave, uncovered, heat on high 1 minute or until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after each 20 second interval.
Drizzle chocolate over cookies; sprinkle with
peanuts. Let stand until chocolate is set
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
