Eggless 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies prove that simple ingredients can deliver serious results. A flaxseed-and-water mixture does the heavy lifting here, thickening into a gel that binds everything together just as well as a traditional egg would — no compromise on texture, no animal products needed. The dough comes together in one bowl with just peanut butter and sugar, making this one of the easiest bakes you'll ever attempt. Each ball gets pressed with a fork in that classic crosshatch pattern before baking, so they look exactly like the cookies you grew up loving. They come out of the oven soft and almost underdone, but give them a few minutes on the pan and they firm up into perfectly chewy, slightly crisp-edged rounds. With 12 cookies per batch, they're easy to share — or not.
