Baking with the kids

[wiseheart]

I 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.

Your cookies are perfect! That's what they're supposed to look like. Interesting idea with the white chocolate button - they look better than with dark chocolate covering. I'll have to remember that next time.

It's all right with the chocolate chip thing; I know drops are different. I buy those sometimes in Vienna, as we don't have them over here. I just wanted to make it clear that you actually need chopped chocolate for these cookies.
