1

125g butter, softened

100g light brown sugar

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

175g plain flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons peanut butter

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into two equal portions and place one portion on top of the other. Roll out into a rectangle shape about 5mm thick. Spread the peanut butter over one half of the dough rectangle then fold over the other half so that it covers the peanut butter layer completely. Roll out again into a rectangle shape about 5mm thick then cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Place onto prepared baking tray leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread during cooking.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges then remove from oven and leave to cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
