Ingredients

Servings
  • 175 g plain flour
  • 100 g butter soften
  • 1 egg
  • 200 g peanut butter smooth
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 100 g dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup peanuts salted

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the caster sugar, brown sugar and soften butter, and beat well to get a smooth texture.
  2. Add the egg and beat again.
  3. Add the peanut butter, and beat again for a further 30 seconds.
  4. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and use a spatula to bring everything together into a small dough.
  5. Leave the dough to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
  7. Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick paper.
  8. With wet hands, scoop out dough to shape a ball of 25 g (0.8 oz).
  9. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  10. Use a fork to press down on each ball to flatten it to a half a cm thickness.
  11. Top each cookie with 4 or 5 peanuts, then bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
  12. Remove from the oven, and leave them to cool for 5-10 minutes before arranging them on a cooling rack.

Notes

  • If you'd like to see the ingredients listed in cups and ounces, please check the US Customary Link.
  • Also, the amount of ingredients changes depending on the servings, so click on the number listed to change it to the number you prefer.
  • The dough might not look thick enough, but do not be tempted to add any more flour, or the cookies will not spread the way the should.
  • Simply leave the dough to rest for 5 so that all the ingredients can bind together, and the batter will thicken further.
  • You can dip the fork you use for flattening the cookies in a bowl of water, as the batter might stick to the fork when you press them down. I like making a cross sign with the fork, it looks pretty nice on the cookies.
