Peanut Butter and Banana Cookies

Ingredients

• 100 g unsalted butter (softened)
• 100 g light brown soft sugar
• 100 g caster sugar
• 1 medium egg (lightly beaten)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 g self-raising flour
• Pinch of salt
• A jar of peanut butter 1 tsp per tablespoon cookie
• 1 banana into slices and then cut in half again

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a few trays with baking paper. I use 3 for this recipe as the cookies spread so much.

2. 2

   Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   Add the egg and vanilla extract stir in well.

4. 4

   Sieve in the flour and salt and mix into a dough.

5. 5

   Pop in the fridge for 1 hour.

6. 6

   Remove from fridge and take a heaped tablespoon for each cookie. Roll into a ball and flatten into a disc. Put a heaped teaspoon of peanut butter in the centre of the disc and the banana. Roll the cookie back into a ball by pulling the sides in. Put on a baking tray, leaving a good distance between them as they will spread.

7. 7

   Bake for 10-12 mins until the cookies are starting to brown.

8. 8

   Leave to cool slightly before enjoying.
