Servings: 8
Very peanutty, soft cookies. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid depending on the flour you use. I use 1/3 whole wheat and 2/3 white. I use soy milk however any milk or milk-like product will work, I think. If you're going to add dark chocolate chips, increase the sugar by 2 Tablespoons. Careful baking results in soft cookies just lightly browned on the bottom.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanuts
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Crush peanuts into small bits with a rolling pin. Roast for 8 - 12 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
3. Use a fork to mix flour and soda together in a bowl.
4. In another bowl mix egg, sugar and liquid.
5. Mix in peanut butter with egg mixture.
6. Mix in peanut bits and chocolate chips (if you're using them) with egg mixture.
7. Mix flour and egg mixtures together.
8. Roll into small balls between your palms and flatten with a floured fork on a greased cookie sheet, or push a large chocolate wafer into the top of the ball, flattening the ball in the process.
9. Bake 12 on a cookie sheet at a time as far from the edges of the cookie sheet as possible.
10. Bake 9 1/2 minutes
11. Cool on wire rack.
