I recently went through a faze of creating peanut butter everything. As well as the cupcakes already posted below, I made some gorgeous cookies. They're small and light and go well with a cup of tea or in kid's lunch boxes.
They take no more than 30 minutes preparation and 30 minutes in the oven. They last well in an airtight container although, given they are so good, keeping them fresh is unlikely to be an issue!
Ingredients (makes around 35 cookies)
125g unsalted vutter
140g soft brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
185 peanut butter (I used crunchy for the texture but smooth can also be used if you prefer)
165g plain flour (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
(you an also add 25g cocoa powder if you would like chocolate flavour)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy, using an electric mixer.
3. Add the egg a little at the time before adding the peanut butter.
4. Using a metal spoon, add flour, baking soda (and cocoa powder if you're using it) to mix a dough.
5. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into balls, place on the trays, and flatten with a fork to make a pattern on the top
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
7. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
