I have loads of peanuts hanging around after last week’s cupcakes so have made up yet another recipe to use them. I’m still much loving the combination of sweet and savoury. Very very pleasing.
It goes:
250g butter, softened
50g caster sugar
100g light brown sugar
300g self raising flour
175g milk chocolate (the fancier the better), broken by hand
50g peanuts, halved roughly
Makes 16
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160C. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
2. Beat together the sugars and butter until fluffy.
3. Stir in the flour and milk. Combine and then add the chocolate and peanuts.
4. Seperate the mixture into 16 pieces and roll in to balls. Place on the baking sheets and flatten slightly so the dough is about 5cm across but don’t squash too much. Leave space between pieces to allow for speading.
5. Bake for 7 mins and then turn. Bake for another 7 mins.
6. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 mins and then transfer to a cooling rack.
