I recently saw these cookies on my Google+ page, and on the World Baking Page. So the original recipe came from here. They seemed to have been made to test out a branded baking sheet. I thought it might be nice to try the recipe myself, but first I had to convert the ingredients to metric, from cups of this and cups of that. I found a website that gives conversions, but wasn’t entirely convinced by some of the quantities mentioned. I decided to trust the site and, at least at first glance, things looked to have worked out quite well.
As I type I can smell the sweet aroma of peanut butter, as the cookies cool. I am not sure how akin to streusel my topping turned out to be, but certainly there is a topping, which I am sure will taste good. The cinnamon added to the topping should surely enhance the prominent peanut flavour.
Ingredients: as converted by me.
for the cookie dough:
170 g plain flour
180 g peanut butter
120 g butter
90g brown sugar
100g white sugar( I used granulated)
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
for the streusel topping:
45g brown sugar
30g plain flour
60g peanut butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp melted butter
Method:
Preheat Oven to 180 C.
In a mixing bowl(you can use a stand mixer), beat together butter, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Beat in both sugars, salt and baking powder.
