Servings: 16 cookies
Equipment
Ingredients
- 240 g peanut butter (smooth or crunchy - ideally opt for one which is 100% peanuts)
- 175 g caster sugar
- 1 egg (UK large egg)
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
- Add the peanut butter, sugar and egg to a large mixing bowl and mix together until it forms a thick mixture.
- Break pieces of dough off around the size of a cherry tomato and roll into balls.
- Place the balls on the tray with plenty of space between them, and then press down using the back of a fork or your fingers. If using, sprinkle with some chopped peanuts and lightly press them into the top of the cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the cookies to cool on the tray.
Notes
- Top Tip: The cookies will initially be quite soft when they come out of the oven but will harden as they cool and become crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside! I recommend leaving them to cool on the tray before moving.
