About the bake

These peanut butter cookies are perfect for dunking and are sooooo moreish. Who fancies eating a slightly warm, fresh out of the oven, peanut butter cookie in 35 minutes? We've used Proper Nutty's 'Smunchy' peanut butter which is not quite smooth, not quite crunchy, just a nice happy place somewhere in the middle. If you're nutty about peanuts, you can always add some roughly chopped peanuts to the mix to get that extra hit.

Only used about 90g of sugar which was perfect for us! Otherwise a brilliant easy recipe nut relying on cups as a measure!
