What are you waiting for?
Ever since, more than a few people have told me that it’s the end-all peanut butter cookie. The hook? All you need is creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, a splash of vanilla, and some flaky salt on top. Oh, and a bowl and a spoon. No special equipment. No flour.
When I first baked them, I thought the same thing as everyone else: This is the best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever had. And then I thought about the peanut butter pie I couldn’t stop making as a teenager. And then I thought: What if this cookie somehow became that pie?While Ovenly’s peanut butter cookie was an aha moment for me, it wasn’t the first of its kind. In
, Shirley Corriher has a recipe for “E-Z Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies.” Like Ovenly's, they’re made with creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and egg. by Susan G. Purdy, published in 1999. These, too, have three ingredients: creamy peanut butter, sugar, and egg—though notably, the sugar here is granulated, not brown.
And though the ingredients are more or less the same, each recipe has its own ratios. Ovenly’s uses less peanut butter and sugar than the other two. Purdy’s “Impossible” cookies use the most sugar of all.
