Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chunks Cookies.

Right now I should really be packing my suitcase for work, but writing about cookies is more appealing! If someone had told me even a year ago that I will be baking american style cookies I would have laughed at them, I thought it was a long and tedious process. How wrong was I! As everything genius in this world , it's super simple!

200 gr unsalted butter (softened)

150 gr white sugar

160 gr brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

320 gr self-raising flour

pinch of sea salt

150 gr chocolate chunks/buttons (i make my own , by breaking a chocolate bar in a blender)

2/3 tbsp of peanut butter

Also we will need, a couple of baking trays, an ice-cream scooper or just a big spoon and some baking paper. 

Preheat your oven gas mark4/175C.

Whip the butter and all of the sugar for about 5 min.

Add vanilla extract and eggs, continue mixing for another 5 min.

Add flour, mix in.

Mix in peanut butter and chocolate, the cookie dough is done! 

Pop it in the fridge for a few minutes, it's easier to scoop when the dough is a bit set.

Place the baking paper on the tray and scoop out 5 or 6 dough balls , make sure you have enough space between them. 

Place in the oven and bake for about 10-15 min. Don't overcook, the cookies should come out looking a bit undercooked in the middle. Allow them to cool down on the tray, they will harden, but hopefully be just nice and gooey in the middle.

This mixure goes a long way, make more dough balls, freeze, use when needed straight out of the freezer, just bake for a bit longer!

A glass of milk, anyone?
