Peanut Butter Cookies




    It was much easier to make than I thought it was.. Its so simple, i can make them everyday :P Although its not a good idea to gobble up so many cookies everyday. Heres the recipe for the yummy crunchy cookies:

    Ingredients:  
    1/2 cup white butter,
    1/2 cup peanut butter,
    3/4 cup granulated suger,
    1 cup maida,
    1 egg,beaten lightly,
    1/2 tsp baking powder,
    pinch of salt,
    1/2 cup chopped unsalted peanuts.


    Method: Preheat the oven 375 F/190 C. Grease 2 cookie sheets with a little butter. Beat the white butter & peanut butter together,then add suger & beat well.  Add the beaten egg, add a little at a time, beating after each addition untill throughly blended sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the creamed peanut butter mixtur. Add the chopped peanuts and bring the mixture together to form soft,sticky dough. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Form the dough into 20 balls and place them on the cookie sheets, spaced well apart to allow room to expand during cooking, and flatten slightly with your hand. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes,untill golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool before serving. Enjoi :)
