Ingredients
- 300 g (1 cup) peanut butter
- 60 g (⅓ cup) soft light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 30 g (⅓ cup) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- Prepare your baking sheet*.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
- Spoon onto the baking sheet** and flatten with the fork to make criss-cross patterns.
- Cook in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 9 minutes for a softer cookie, 12 minutes for a more crumbly one.
- Remove from the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze.
Notes
*I have a really good non-stick baking sheet so put these cookies straight on to that. If your baking sheet is less than perfect either grease it with a little oil, or use a piece of non-stick grease proof paper.
**If my dough is quite stiff I scoop it out with a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon then press it down with the fork. If it is too sticky for this I scoop it out with a dessert spoon, shape it into rounds as best I can then mark it with the fork.
