My Husband and youngest daughter are a wee bit fanatical when it comes to peanut butter. It’s a constant struggle to maintain a supply that can satisfy their needs!
So this recipe is a real treat for them and for anyone else that manages to get a cookie before they eat them all 😁
I love a simple recipe and they don’t come much more simple than these. Crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, these little beauties are divine.
You will need:
110 grams/4 ounce margarine
130 grams/4.5 ounce peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
100 grams / 3.5 ounce caster sugar
110 grams / 4 ounce soft dark brown sugar
1 egg
60 grams / 2 ounce plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180
- Combine both types of sugar, margarine, peanut butter and vanilla essence.
- Add the egg and salt and mix until fully incorporated
- Sprinkle the baking powder over the mixture and add the flour, mix well.
- Spoon small balls onto a baking sheet, make sure there is plenty of room around each biscuit
- Squash down with a fork
- Bake for between 15 and 20 minutes. The edges of the biscuits should just be turning brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray, the cookies with harden as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container and eat within 3 days – not that they’ll last that long!
