Toast 100 grams (3 ½ oz) of peanuts in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 10 minutes until golden brown and cool.
Rub the peanuts between your hands to remove the skins, and roughly chop them.
Cream together 150 grams (5 oz) of white sugar, 150 grams (5 oz) of brown sugar and 150 grams (5 oz) of butter, using the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy.
Add one egg and mix well. Add 200 grams (7 oz) of creamy peanut butter and mix until blended evenly.
Sift together 170 grams (7 oz) of flour and 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of baking powder into the cookie dough. Mix on low speed for a few seconds. Just long enough to combine all the ingredients.
Add 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt and the chopped peanuts. Mix just until incorporated.
Use an ice cream scoop, or two spoons to portion the dough into 5 cm (2 inch) in diameter cookies. Arrange them evenly on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, leaving enough room for them to spread during baking.
Bake at a 180°C (350°F) until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
These peanut butter cookies are very soft when first removed from the oven. Cool completely on the sheet pan.
These cookies are delicious served with a glass of milk, tea or coffee! Thank you for joining us today and please visit our website for a coconut macaroons recipe and other easy to follow recipes!
