This simple recipe for The Best Chewy 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies is perfect for anyone who loves the classic, nutty flavor of peanut butter. With no flour required, these flourless cookies come together in just 20–30 minutes, making them a quick and reliable choice for busy days or last-minute cravings

In a large bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth. You can use a stand mixer on medium speed or stir by hand with a wooden spoon. Add in the large egg and baking soda, mixing until the dough is fully combined.

Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls (about 1 ½ tablespoons each). Roll them into cookie balls and place them on the cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (Optional): If you like, flatten each cookie slightly with the tines of a fork in a criss-cross pattern.

Bake the cookies for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed. They should be golden brown but still soft in the center. Let them rest on the sheet pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool.
