Servings: 20 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup butter softened
- 2 tbsp nut butter of choice
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence
- 2 cups cake flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup of nuts roasted and roughly chopped
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Add sugar, peanut butter, and butter to an electric mixer or large bowl and mix until the mixture turns pale and creamier.
- Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix until just combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, pecans and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix well to ensure the salt and baking soda has spread evenly.
- Roll the dough into equal sized balls, about 2,5cm/3cm radius. Place on a lined baking tray and 8cm apart. Cover the cookies and let it to rest in the fridge for 1 hour. This will allow the fat within the cookie dough to solidify and encourage a far greater result when baking it in the oven.
- Note: 20 mins before you remove the cookie dough from the fridge you must preheat your oven to 190℃ / 374℉
- Removed the cookie dough from the fridge and place directly in the preheated oven. Bake each batch for about 10mins or until golden brown, this will allow for a softer cookie but. I like my cookies to be a little crispier so I allow them to bake until they're a deeper golden brown (about 13-15mins in the oven). You're the Chef so this is where you decide what YOU like! Remember to place the cookies on a cooling rack and allow them to cool before placing them in a container (if there are any left by then because we can't help devour the whole batch within an hour or so!).
