Peanut Butter Crinkles!
Yes these are not your average peanut cookies which have a tendency to be a bit too hard, are bit too raw-peanuty and a bit too bland. No. These crinkles have a very scrumptious buttery (but not too buttery), sweet-roasted-peanut-melt-in-your-mouth kind of quality. And are a definite MUST for peanut butter fans!!
Interestingly the history and development of Peanut butter seems to be associated with a long line of Doctors! I know! According to Peanut butter lovers, in the late 1800’s an unknown St. Louis physician apparently encouraged the owner of a food products company, George A. Bayle Jr., to make peanut paste as a nutritious protein substitute for people who’s teeth were a little worse for wear and were unable to chew meat. And elsewhere in the world, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, began experimenting with peanut butter as a vegetarian source of protein for his patients. (Notably, the Kellogg’s brothers went on to become Cereal billionaires)
Yes, so Peanut Butter is high in Protein and F.A.T- and that stands for Flavour And Taste, in this neck of the woods. So smooth those wrinkles and enjoy some flavour by making some crinkles!
Peanut Butter Crinkles
Ingredients: 125g butter, ½ tsp vanilla, ½ tsp grated lemon rind, 1/3 cup caster sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar lightly packed, 1/3 cup peanut butter (smooth), 1 ¼ cup plain flour, 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, pinch of salt
Steps: Preheat the oven to moderate, 180 degrees Celsius. Grate the lemon rind. Cream together the butter, vanilla, lemon rind, sugars and peanut butter using electric beaters. Then using a wooden spoon, mix in the sifted flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt until well combined. Roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into small balls and place on baking trays lined with baking paper. Press biscuits down lightly with a fork in a criss-cross fashion to give the crinkled effect. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Cool completely on oven trays.
Makes 35
Tip! If you’re more of a “I like to see Peanuts in my Peanut butter cookies” type of person, then by all means use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth peanut butter to give it a bit more crunch!
