Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. prepare a cookie sheet with baking paper or a silicone baking mat.

Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until the creamed. Add the peanut butter and mix for another minute, then add the vanilla and egg and mix until incorporated.

In a small bowl mix the flour, bicarb and salt then add it to the mixer slowly while mixing until there is no dry flour. Be careful not to over mix the dough, it should come together in a ball. Remove the mixing bowl and scrape down the sides if necessary.

Using a kitchen scale, portion the dough out into 25 g balls then pop them onto a baking paper-lined tray and flatten them with a fork or spatula. If you don’t want the pattern from the fork, simply lift the cookies and flip them over onto the other side before baking. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges just begin to brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool and set for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
