Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 110 grams brown sugar
- 250 grams smooth peanut butter mixed very well
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
- 25 grams cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk the 1 large egg and the 110 grams brown sugar to mix until combined.
- Add the 250 grams smooth peanut butter and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and continue to whisk until everything comes together. You may find it easier to switch to a spatula during this step.
- Using the spatula, mix through the 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda and 25 grams cocoa powder until the mixture comes together as a dough.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of the mixture and place onto the baking tray. Press down each ball with a fork to make a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies will still be soft when removed from the oven but will continue to firm up as they cool.
Notes
Peanut butter: I recommend using a smooth, natural peanut butter for the best result. Stir it well so there's no oil sitting on top.
Storage instructions: store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
