Peanut Butter Cookies
If these cookies/biscuits are just for me or close friends, I prefer to use finely chopped bud, as 'our' bodies never get enough roughage say the nurse ..lol, otherwise consider adding canna oil for a smoother taste,
I prefer to add 3 tablespoons of finely cut bud, or 2 tablespoons of canna oil, always use less, as then you just eat another cookie, until you find your correct dosage, don't forget you may need 10-20 minutes for the cookies to 'kick' on..so go slow at first.
Makes about 24 cookies.
Ingredients:
200g soft light brown sugar .................(for a chewy effect)
110g unsalted butter, softened (or canna oil)
130g peanut butter
1 large egg
half tsp vanilla extract
quarter tsp almond extract
180g plain flour
half tsp bicarbonate of soda
half tsp salt
2 tbsp caster sugar (to coat the cookies)
Beat the brown sugar, butter and peanut butter together in a mixer or with a handheld mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla and almond extract. Beat well to combine.
Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Stir well to combine.
Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. (It will stay fresh in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.)
Preheat the oven to 170C/Gas Mark 3.
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls.
Roll each dough ball in caster sugar and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Leave 5cm of space between each ball to allow the cookies to spread while cooking.
Press the tines of a fork into the back of each ball, pressing down slightly.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes but no more than 12 minutes, until firm and a light golden brown. The cookies will be crisp on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and to crisp up.
Eat immediately, although they will last for a few days if stored in an airtight container.
Tip:
You can add other things to your cookies, such as chunks of chopped peanuts or chocolate. I sometimes add a little diced fudge; adding a Rolo chocolate-toffee sweet always goes down a treat too!
