Total Time42 minutes
Servings: 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 175 g Unsalted Butter melted
  • 250 g Plain Flour
  • ½ tsp. Bicarbonate of Soda
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 200 g soft dark brown sugar
  • 100 g golden caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 150 g crunchy peanut butter
  • 150 g peanut brittle bashed in to chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170C/gas mark 3 and grease and line your baking trays if needed. I use non-stick trays personally.
  • Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl cream the butter and sugars with an electric whisk. Add the eggs then beat until creamy.
  • Add the peanut butter and beat once more until mixed and then with a spoon fold in the peanut brittle chunks. Add this mix to the sifted ingredients until a soft dough is formed.
  • Place in to the fridge for about half an hour and then spoon out ice-cream scoop (golf ball) sized balls and place on to your trays. Leave a bit of space as they will spread during cooking.
  • Press down on the top slightly and then bake for 15 -17 minutes or until the edges start to brown slightly.
  • Once the done remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes on the trays before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Placing the dough in the fridge is not necessary however I feel it makes for a more decadent cookie.
