Chunky Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter Cookies recipe
Makes 22 cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

120g butter
200g coconut sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
250g Self Raising Flour
250g milk chocolate roughly chopped
130g crunch rich roast Meridian peanut butter

Method:

Heat the oven to 170C. Melt the butter and set aside to cool for a moment. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and butter, until combined. Add the egg and yolk and continue to mix.

Fold in the flour and when combined fold in ¾ of the chocolate. Briefly stir through ¾ of the peanut butter, leaving swirls visible.

Use a tbsp measure to scoop dollops of mixture onto 2 or 3 non-stick baking sheets, making sure you leave plenty of room for them to expand when they cook.

Poke a clean finger into each cookie to make a well in the centre and drizzle in a little of the remaining peanut butter. Then dot a few pieces of the remaining chocolate over the top of each.

If you’re just cooking half now, put the other half of the cookies into a freezer container and freeze.

Bake the remaining biscuits for 15 mins until they are cooked at the edges but still soft in the middle. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a baking rack. Keep them in an airtight tin.
