Peanut Butter Rocky Road Cookie

During my short stint in a venture, I churned out many cakes that got my family so tired of eating them.  Thus, I have been trying to stay off cakes.  

When my friend tagged me to an event that she is organising, to support her, I decided to just do it.

After all, I do have some peanut butter at home and my girl of late is into this nut. I am sure my hubby will enjoy them too. Another motivation was that my girl had been requesting for cookies instead of cakes since a month ago.

So here is my take on this Peanut Butter Rocky Road Cookie.

What you need:

56g butter, unsalted and softened

46g light brown sugar
40g castor sugar

1 egg

115g plain flour

2 tbsp peanut butter (since I don't have crunchy peanut butter, I added in some crushed peanuts)

A pinch of salt

30g chocolate chips

Toppings
peanut butter

mini marshmallows
crushed peanuts

chocolate chips

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C.  Line baking sheet.

Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and peanut butter until fully incorporated.

Sift in the flour and salt.  Stir to combined.

Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter onto the baking sheet.  Making a dent in the centre.

Bake for 5 mins and remove.

Spoon a little peanut butter onto the dent, top with mini marshmallow, crushed peanut and chocolate chips.

Bake for another 5 mins until the edge is brown.

Remove and wait for 2 mins before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
