These White Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies Are Ideal For Dunking

This week we’ve asked Boutique Bake’s Catherine Buggy for seven delicious recipes that you can make with the kids this Christmas.

“This recipe combines two of our favourite ingredients, peanut butter and white chocolate chips, yum!” says Catherine.

“It’s a really simple recipe for cookies and the addition of peanut butter works really well, if you prefer milk chocolate you can swap these for the white chocolate chips we’ve used.”

This recipe makes about 12-15 cookies and is so quick and simple to put together. Once baked, they will keep for up to a week in an airtight container.

Here’s everything you need:

• 110g Butter
• 100g Caster Sugar
• 100g Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 150g Peanut Butter
• 170g Plain Flour
• 70g White Chocolate Chips
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Bicarbonate of Soda
• Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160o fan / 180 C
2. Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer in a bowl until it is light and fluffy
3. Add in the egg and beat into the butter and sugar mixture, until well combined
4. Next add in the peanut butter, flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt
5. Finally stir through the chocolate chips and mix well, until the mixture comes together in a dough
6. Line two baking trays with some greaseproof paper
7. Shape the cookie dough into evenly sizes balls
8. Place approximately 6 balls of cookie dough on each tray, leaving plenty of space between each, as they will expand during baking
9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cookies start to brown
10. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, (they should be slightly brown but still chewy!).
