Ingredients
- 175 grams Plain flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Smooth peanut butter
- 100 grams Golden caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/gas mark 4. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and smooth peanut butter together until creamy and well combined.
Step 3
Add the golden caster sugar and golden syrup to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough begins to form.
Step 6
Add the whole milk to the dough and mix until everything comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 7
Using your hands, roll small portions of dough into balls, about the size of a walnut. Place them evenly onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space for spreading.
Step 8
Lightly press down on each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centre remains soft.
Step 10
Remove the trays from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy your British Peanut Butter Cookies with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
