wiseheartI baked peanut-chocolate cookies with thirty fifth-term kids today. It was great fun. Recipe below, in case you want to try it.
Ingredients:
120 grams of white flour
50 grams of sugar
100 grams of peanuts, roast, chopped
100 grams of dark chocolate, chopped
50 grams of peanut butter
100 grams of butter or margarine
1 egg
1 pinch of baking powder
chocolate icing to decorate it afterwards
How to make it?
- Mix flour, sugar, peanuts, chocolate and baking powder in a dish.
- Melt butter and peanut butter in a small pot and allow it to cool a little.
- Add egg, butter and peanut butter to the dry ingredients; stir it with a wooden spoon.
- Form little balls of the size of a small walnut and set them onto the baking tin (buttered or lined with baking paper). Leave enough room between cookies to expand.
- Bake it in a pre-heated oven (180°C, Gas: 2) for 20 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the tin for a few minutes.
- Melt chocolate icing and drop half a teaspoon full on top of every cookie.
It's really easy to make; it takes about 35-40 minutes altogether, including preparations, and you'll have about 20-25 cookies, depending on the size you make them.

Date: 2012-11-18 11:19 pm (UTC)I wasn't quite sure what you meant by chocolate icing, so I just placed a white chocolate button on top of each of them while they were still warm so that the button melted and stuck to the cookie. I went to the south coast with some friends for an outing today and brought some of the cookies, which were very well received. I still have some for me at home, and have had two more since getting home. I really like them!
P.S. I wasn't having a go at you about the 'chocolate chip' thing, just in case you thought so. It is just that in this country they sell bags of little chocolate drops, that they call 'chocolate chips'. I see how they can be used as chocolate chips, but they aren't actually chipped off anything so I object to that term being used.
