125g unsalted butter
25g Giddy’s peanut butter
100g cane sugar, plus 1 tsp for sprinkling
100g light brown soft sugar
1 large egg
200g plain flour
1⁄2 tsp fine salt
1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g plain chocolate, cut into chunks
To begin creating your masterpiece, preheat the oven to 180°C or gas mark 4. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Whilst your oven preheats, melt butter in a large pan on a low heat. Add your Giddy's peanut butter to the mix, stirring it to help it mix. Once this is done, set it aside to cool.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, beat both the brown and white sugar into the peanut butter mixture, followed by the egg. Mix the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda together, then mix them into the wet ingredients until well combined. Cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour. If you haven’t already, cut your chocolate into chunks. Otherwise, go outside and play whilst you wait!
Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and stir in the chocolate pieces you’ve made. Lightly roll heaped spoonfuls of the mixture (about 65g each) in your hands. Arrange on the baking trays, spaced well apart. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sugar and bake for 13-15 minutes, until they have spread and turned a golden colour at the edges. Take them out and let them cool on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, grab one or two and keep them away from your parents, these cookies are NOT for adults!
