Peanut Butter and Raspberry Cookies

So, I realise that this post comes at a rather inopportune time seeing as it’s Lent… and, lets be honest, most people will give up sugar and or chocolate. Now seeing as no chocolate is involved in the making of these cookies, I’m afraid to say that this recipe defo contains sugar. But if you aren’t religious then this is some yummy comfort food. It is the easiest recipe you could find for baking, as you only need 3 (4) ingredients. You cannot possibly go wrong. Unless you're THAT person who burns everything.

These are enjoyed by both adults and children and are a perfect activity for both, just beware the battle over who gets to lick the spoon afterwards.

Ingredients:

Half a punnet of Raspberries halved  (optional)

200 grams Crunchy Peanut Butter (smooth is fine, but I like the crunch!)

1 Large Egg

150 grams of powdered sugar (Icing Sugar)

Method:

weigh out all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

First combine the sugar and the Peanut Butter in a bowl. this will take a while and not all the sugar will combine with the Peanut Butter. In the end you should have quite a crumbly consistency.

Then add the egg, the egg will act like glue and holding both the sugar and the peanut butter together. you should end up with a smooth but sticky mush (its a good mush though).

On a large baking tray place down a sheet of baking paper. Scoop half a table spoon of mixture onto the sheet and flatten lightly into a circular shape, they don't have to be perfect.

On top of the circular dough add two halves of raspberries pushing them down slightly.

Continue until you've run out of mixture. You should have enough mixture to make 14 cookies.

Place the cookies into the oven for 13-15 mins until golden at the edges.

Enjoy! :)
