Peanut Butter Crinkles

By PaisleyJade - Tuesday, January 11, 2011


I love peanut butter - and what could be better than tasty, crunchy peanut butter biscuits!  Adding chocolate chips to this recipe would make them amazing!

But I must warn you... if you or a family member have an allergy to peanuts, do not make these (even though they look real good).

Ingredients
125g (4oz) butter
½ teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon grated lemon rind
⅓ cup sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
⅓ peanut butter
1¼ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
pinch salt 

Cream butter, vanilla, lemon rind, sugars and peanut butter.  With a wooden spoon work in sifted flour, soda and salt, making a stiff dough.  Roll heaped teaspoonfuls into small balls with floured hands and place on greased oven trays.  Press biscuits down lightly with a fork, first crosswise and then lengthwise, for a crinkled effect.  Bake in moderate oven for 15 minutes.  Cool biscuits on oven trays.

Makes about 25.  Enjoy!!

Recipe from The Australian Women's Weekly "The Big Book of Beautiful Biscuits".

  2. I used to make peanut butter slice with choc icing from a slice recipe book I have - it was yum - but I stopped as Monk is/was allergic and it was only me eating it.
