Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a smooth dough.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. Avoid overbaking; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
