Peanut butter thumbprint cookies

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Cooling time: 15 minutes

Makes: 10-15 cookies



Ingredients

Cookies:
190g Plain flour
1tsp Baking powder
½ tsp Salt
60g Butter
240g Peanut butter
100g Dark brown sugar
100g Granulated sugar
2 Eggs
1tsp Vanilla extract

Chocolate ganache:
120g Dark chocolate
120g Whipping cream

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper. In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

2. In another bowl add the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar and dark brown sugar. Using an electric whisk, mix well until creamy. Incorporate the vanilla extract and the eggs one at a time. Gradually add the flour mixture, mix until combined.

3. Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them onto the baking tray and use your thumb to make a dip into the centre of each cookie. Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. When the cookies are done set aside to cool.

4. While they cool prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat the cream in a small saucepan. When the cream just begins to boil at the edges, remove from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for about 2 minutes then stir until smooth. Let it cool for 5 minutes before filling the cookies.

5. Fill the cookies with the chocolate ganache and let it set in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving.
