I've never baked in my life but have been making these lately - they're easy to make and they're YUMMY!
Method says to use a mixer but I beat it all by hand and they turn out just fine. INGREDIENTS 170g unsalted butter 105g light brown sugar 100g granulated white sugar 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla essence 185g peanut butter (crunchy is best  )
280g plain flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 100g chocolate chips METHOD Preheat oven to 350F / 180C. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer) cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla essence and beat to combine. In a seperate bowl whick together the flour and backing powder. Add to the peanut butter mixture and beat until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Make a criss-cross pattern on the top of each one with a fork. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Remove, allow to cool, and ENJOY!! |

I've just made these, haven't tasted the finished product yet but I'm sure they will be great! (The raw dough was yummy anyway  )
Anyway a quirk of mine is that I hate weighing things, so converted the measurements (except the butter cos I use the little lines on the paper!). If anyone is like me and prefers to use cup measures, here's the (roughly) converted ingredient list: 170g unsalted butter 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated white sugar 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla essence 2/3 cup peanut butter 2 1/4 cups plain flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 3/4 cup chocolate chips -------------

They're yum! They were a little puffier than I expected them to be, but on closer inspection of the recipe that's cos I accidentally doubled the baking powder...  -------------
