Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies

Saturday, February 8, 2020 23:02

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Peanut butter is one of my absolute favourite things to eat in the world. If I was marooned on a desert island I would want to have at least one jar of peanut butter with me. I confess I have some peanut butter every day. Usually spread on a slice of toast. Nothing else, just peanut butter. I do also love to bake with it, making cakes and cookies, etc.

Peanut Butter Cookies are my absolute favourite cookie next to oatmeal and as soon as I saw what was in the January Degustabox I knew what I wanted to make. Peanut Butter Cookies, using the Sun-Pat peanut butter which was one of the products included in the box I received.

As those of you who have been reading me for a while know, I am the lucky recipient of the gift of a Degustabox each month. Once a month, around the middle of the month, I am gifted with one of these lovely boxes which contain a delicious assortment of all things foodie. I just love these boxes. Each one is always a lovely surprise.

Opening each one is tiny a bit like opening a Christmas gift to me. Always a surprise, and always filled with things that pique my interest and desire to try. Degustabox is a monthly foodie subscription service that sends out a range of 10 to 15 specially selected foodie products. I even have a code that can give you which will give you a £5 discount off of your first box. I will tell you about that at the end. I have been getting these boxes for a couple of years now and I have to say I have never been disappointed.

I decided to use some of the creamy peanut butter to make my cookies. You can also use crunchy peanut butter if you wish. I prefer the smooth.

This recipe makes 12 perfectly delicious, nicely sized peanut butter cookies. Soft in the middle and crunchy at the edges . . .

In short the perfect peanut butter cookie. Perfect for tea break, after school or just for snacking.

Just the right size for the smaller family. You can enjoy them with a hot drink if you wish, but I like to enjoy mind with a glass of cold milk.

And yes, I dunk. I like dunking my cookies . . . even into hot drinks . . .

This simple dough is shaped into balls and then pressed flattish with either a fork or a cookie press. I used the bottom of my crystal sugar bowl.

I think it left a nice pattern on them . . .

You could use a meat pounder to make deepish divets if you wanted to . . .

No matter the shape or pattern these are meant to be enjoyed . . .

Mmmmm . . . incredibly edibly moreish. Not too sweet, nicely peanut buttery. In short . . . perfect.

Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies

Yield: 12

Author: Marie Rayner

Your favourite cookie down-sized for the smaller family. Incredibly moreish.

ingredients:

90g smooth or crunchy peanut butter (1/2 cup)
1 large free range egg
35g plain flour (1/4 cup)
95g granulated sugar (1/2 cup)

instructions:How to cook Small Batch Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with some baking paper. Set aside.
Measure all of the cookie ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix together at medium speed until a smooth dough forms. Shape into 12 (1-inch) round balls. Press each flat with a cookie stamp or criss cross with a fork. (I used the bottom of my crystal sugar pot) If the dough is sticky you can dip your press or fork into some granulated sugar before pressing.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two before scooping off to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
