Peanut Butter Crinkles

Peanut butter crinkle

This is my family's most favourite biscuit. The recipe is taken from one of my Women's Weekly collection. It gives you such a wonderful peanut aroma especially when it is eaten fresh!

Here's the recipe:

125g butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar

1/3 cup (65g) firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup (80 ml) crunchy peanut butter

1 1/4 cups (185g) plain flour

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Methods:

1.  Beat butter, esssence, rind, sugars and peanut butter in small bowl with electric mixer until smooth.

2.  Stir in sifted remaining ingredients.

3.  Roll rounded teaspoons of mixture into balls, place about 4cm apart on greased oven trays, flatten 

     with fork in a criss-cross pattern.

4.  Bake in moderate oven ( 180 deg C) about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on trays. Makes about 40.
