Peanut Butter Biscuits
- ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 125 g butter or margarine
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup sticky brown sugar
- ½ ts[ vanilla essence
- 1 extra large egg
- 1¼ cup cake flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ¼ tsp salt
-
Pre-heat oven to 180°C
-
Using a hand held electric beater or if you prefer a wooden spoon (the wooden spoon just takes a bit longer) beat the peanut butter, butter or margarine, white sugar and sticky brown sugar together
-
Still using your beater add the vanilla essence and egg (no need to beat the egg separately, just plop it into the bowl)
-
Mix in the cake flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt
-
Tip it out of the mixing bowl and wrap the dough in plastic cling wrap
-
Put it in the fridge to stiffen up a bit for 30 minutes
-
Take the dough out of the fridge and make balls of it, I usually do walnut sized, onto a baking tray
-
Press down with a fork either dipped in flour or sugar
-
To make crispy cookies, push down quite hard making a thin biscuit. For chewy peanut butter biscuits, push down lightly, thicker peanut butter cookies are more chewy when baked
-
Bake for about 8 – 12 minutes until the biscuit that is slightly brown along the edges
-
Once they come out of the oven put them on a wire rack straight away to cool
-
Allow to cool
If you don’t have sticky brown sugar then substitute with white sugar. The biscuits taste pretty much the same.
