Peanut butter cookies are a classic family favourite. This dairy-free version is super easy to make and they’re great for taking out on microadventures for a treat!
Preheat oven to 180 C/ 350 F and lightly grease a baking sheet. Alternatively, use a silicone baking mat (I use this – it’s great!)
In a large bowl, cream together white vegetable fat, peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the beaten egg and vanilla, mixing well.
Sift together flour and soda and add to the wet mixture, combining well.
Roll into balls one inch in diameter and place, well spaced apart, on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a fork dipped in cold water, gently flatten each biscuit.
Press a whole peanut, or some chopped peanuts, into the top of each biscuit.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Leave cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
