Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 175 grams Plain flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Smooth peanut butter
- 100 grams Golden caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/gas mark 4. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and smooth peanut butter together until creamy and well combined.
Add the golden caster sugar and golden syrup to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough begins to form.
Add the whole milk to the dough and mix until everything comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Using your hands, roll small portions of dough into balls, about the size of a walnut. Place them evenly onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space for spreading.
Lightly press down on each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centre remains soft.
Remove the trays from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your British Peanut Butter Cookies with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
