This recipe creates deliciously sweet and nutty cookies with a soft, cakey texture. I use a blend of our traditional organic stoneground wholemeal flour with our organic white spelt flour, for a soft dough with extra flavour from the wholemeal. You could substitute plain flour for the spelt and wholemeal if needed.
I think these are at their best when still a little warm from the oven, with melted chocolate chips.
Makes 22 cookies
Beat the butter and sugar together using an electric hand whisk or mixer for two minutes, then add the condensed milk followed by the peanut butter and combine.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating as you go for two-three minutes until the mixture is creamy.
Add the flours, raising agents and salt and beat together for 60 seconds until evenly combined. Stir through the chocolate chips.
Line two trays with baking parchment.
Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to scoop the cookie dough into rough balls and place on the trays. Cover, and chill in the fridge for at least 1.5 hours, or ideally overnight.
When you’re ready to bake your cookies, preheat your oven to 180°C. Space the cookies out 10cm apart (I do five to a tray), and bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden. You may need to do them in batches.
Leave to cool on the baking trays where they will firm up.
