Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of chopped peanuts on top and press lightly to adhere.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the peanut biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
