Peanut Butter Cookies

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a baking sheet.

Cream the butter and peanut butter in a mixing bowl until pale and creamy.

Add the sugar and beat for 2 minutes.

Add the egg and beat until well combined.

Sift the flour and baking powder together and stir into the butter mixture, together with the chopped peanuts.

Lightly flour your hands then roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into small balls and place about 4cm apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Flatten with the back of a fork to form a criss-cross pattern.

Bake in preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Repeat with the remaining mixture.
