Christening the Kitchen

When Jen arrived to London, we clearly had to do some baking to start the year off right! We decided on Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were a good choice - chewy, peanut buttery, with just the right amount of chocolate goodness. Needless to say, they didn't last long in our kitchen!



Recipe:

225 g butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 2/3 cups dove's farm gluten free plain white flour 
1 teaspoon xanthum gum
2 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
75 g dark chocolate, chopped

Preheat oven to 170 C. Whisk the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Add the flour, xanthum gum, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Mix until a dough forms then add the chocolate. Place on lined baking sheets in heaping tablespoonfuls. Bake for 10 mins. Let the cookies cool a bit before moving them from the tray to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
