Ingredients

200 grams of crunchy peanut butter (crunchy)
¾ cup caster sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg beaten
¼ cup choc chips
1-2 teaspoons coarsely chopped peanuts

Notes from Rouba

The cookies will crumble if they are handled when warm. Allow to cool completely

Method

Step 1.

Preheat the fan-forced oven to 160°. Line a baking pan with baking paper.

In a bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Add the egg and chocolate chips and mix to form a dough.

Step 2.

Divide the mixture into walnut-sized balls (130 grams) and place onto the prepared baking tray making sure they are well spaced out.

Step 3.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 7 minutes or until just turning golden. Remove, flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle salted peanuts and press gently into the cookies.

Place back into the oven for a further 3-4 minutes or until golden in colour. Remove and allow to cool.
