Peanut Butter cookies

[Shoxfordian]

Just discovered peanut butter cookies, 3 ingredients and totally delicious so sharing it for you

200g peanut butter
175g golden caster sugar
1 egg

80g chocolate, optional, recommended

Mix it all together
Oven at 180
Bake for 12 minutes ish

Try not to eat all in one day....!

I suppose it depends whether you want the cookies to be crunchy or smooth! Think I will use crunchy.

Your choice @LizzieMacQueen. You can’t go wrong either way. Now I want peanut butter cookies.

@Shoxfordian how many cookies does that recipe yield? I think I may scale it down for just one person.

I've made two batches whilst lockdown !! I found that recipe and realised how easy they were to make.

What no flour? It sounds gross on paper but you're all having about it so must be good!

I bought golden caster flour at Tesco the other day by accident (was looking for brown, but that was all they had). Clearly a sign!!

You can use either Lizzie
Made about 16 biscuits Jings

What no flour?

I think that is technically taken care of by the peanut butter which is basically ground peanuts and oil isn't it?

Yeah I think its the starch in the peanuts so you don't need flour

DH made these last week. I was sceptical, it sounded like you could end up with a peanut butter omelet, but they were okay. A bit sweet for me and no good for dunking, but they’re not inedible.

I'm absolutely addicted to peanut butter at the minute, got to give these a go!

I may need to make some more, only 4 left

I'm very tempted to sacrifice my large tub of almond butter to try these

@Shoxfordian thanks, I’ll halve the recipe.

SoupDragon I was thinking the same...

No worries, think I'll have to double mine next time..!

If anyone does make these with almond butter please report back!

I've made them with almond butter and hazelnut butter before. The consistency sometimes changes a bit because of different fat content but they absolutely still work. I tried one type of butter that wasn't great...walnut maybe?

I'm sure they are very nice, but reading this thread has got me thinking about flapjacks! I've not done much baking over the last few years, but since there have been (it seems to me) more home baking related threads since lockdown, I am feeling inspired to make something.

Just tried them. Amazing!

Oh, I'm going to try making a diabetes-friendly version with Swerve instead of sugar - thank you for the idea!

Asda substituted my lovely pip and nut peanut butter for their own brand shite so I might use it to make these.

Since this thread I’ve made them last week and today . They are absolutely delicious.
So simple to make !
Next on the list is the Nutella ones

What about this other three item recipe for ice cream is amazballs
One tin condensed milk flavoured if you like
One tub 12oz bouble cream
Coffee flavouring or any you choose freeze 5-6 hours lush 👌

Whisk in blender until fluffy is the secret

Are the peanut butter cookies amazing or just ‘lovely’? I’m going to try to make them but need to manage my expectations!
