Easy Cookie Recipes With Few Ingredients

Easy Cookie Recipes With Few Ingredients

Cookie hunger can strike at any time. This is an easy cookie recipe that requires few ingredients - three ingredients, to be precise. Its simplicity and the fact that it only takes a few minutes to cook means that you never again have to be short of cookies for more than a few minutes.

Many cookie recipes require odd ingredients - or, at least, ones that you won't necessarily have in the house. This one has only three: egg, peanut butter and sugar. You don't even need flour, which means that it's perfect for coeliacs and those with gluten intolerance. This is truly the easiest cookie recipe out there. If you're pushed for time, or entertaining at short notice and need to impress without going out to the shops first, this is one to go for.

All you need to do is mix one cup of peanut butter and one cup of sugar together with one egg. Then spoon lumps of the mixture onto a baking sheet that has been lightly greased. Cook for 10 minutes at 350 degrees (make sure you preheat the oven).

Voila: easy cookies with only three ingredients.

You can mix it up a bit if you want. These are pretty sugary and sweet, and so you can try cutting down on the sugar. Instead, try grating some chocolate into the mixture - peanut butter and chocolate is always a winning combination. White sugar will give you a different taste to brown sugar. Also, you'll find it makes a difference if you use unsalted butter. Enjoy!

Homemade Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

Frozen Bread Dough (White or Wheat) or Store Bought Pizza crust A Little Vegetable Oil Cornmeal
Refried Beans, cooked and thinned with water. BBQ Sauce, your favorite flavor from the grocery store. Jack Cheese (or any combo of Jack, Mozzarella, & Cheddar), shredded Chicken, cooked and shredded Red Bell Pepper, chopped Red Onion, chopped Black Olives, sliced Jalapeno Pepper, sliced thin, seeds removed (optional) Cilentro, chopped Salsa
Directions:

Pizza Crust: Defrost one loaf of the frozen bread dough according to directions. It seems to work best defrosting it slowly so it gets large and fluffy before you roll it out using a rolling pin. Put flour on your cutting board so the dough doesn't stick.If it is easier to purchase a premade pizza crust in your grocery store that will also work.

Grease your cookie sheet or two medium pizza pans using any kind of vegetable oil. One of my secrets to a good homemade pizza is putting some cornmeal on the pizza pan after you oil it. The cornmeal kind of acts like little ball bearings, keeping the dough from sticking to the pan, plus it adds a great flavor to any pizza.

Sauce: This will be your refried beans and BBQ sauce. Cook and crush your beans adding some water to make a thinner paste. Spread on the crust so it is a thin layer. Drizzle with your favorite BBQ sauce. A great mix!

Toppings: Spread shredded cheese on pizza to cover. Top with chicken, red bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and jalapeno pepper. Add a little more cheese on top.

Bake: 400° for about 15 minutes. Check it occasionally making sure it doesn't overcook. Cheese will be starting to bubble in center.

After baking, sprinkle the pizza with cilentro and your favorite homemade tomato salsa to add a wonderful fresh flavor.

Some pizzerias will add chopped tomatoes on top for a delectable finishing touch to their pizza, but in this case an authentic mexican salsa will finish your Mexican Chicken Pizza perfectly.
