Peanut Butter Biscuits
This recipe for Peanut Butter Biscuits has been in my family for years. They are my husband’s absolute favourite and they never last long in our house! We also have a Gluten Free Peanut Butter Biscuit recipe! I use my Food Processor to mix the dough – it just makes it easier. But if you don’t have one – that’s fine!
Now they are best eaten warm, straight from the oven…. but they also will store in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.
Method
-
Sift together the flour, bicarbonate and salt and set aside.
-
In a food processor, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Slowly add the peanut butter.
-
Remove the wet mixture and transfer to a large bowl.
-
Fold in the dry ingredients and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
-
Line two baking trays with baking paper - roll out rounded teaspoons of mixture, with a fork dipped in flour press the biscuit lightly one way, then the opposite way to get a diamond effect.
-
Cook for 12 - 15 minutes.
-
Mix top four ingredients together, then fold through the chocolate chips.
-
Place SMALL blobs (they really spread, i get 25 - 30 out of this!) on baking paper on trays and bake on 160/170 for 8-10 mins.
-
Keep a careful eye that they don't brown too much, the go dry fast.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- When you go to take the Gluten free biscuits out of the oven they are still very soft (you will think they are under done) but they harden as they cool. Even if they are slightly "under cooked" they are nice and gooey!
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
