Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches

Chocolate chip cookies are a great option to have at home. I have a large glass jar beside the kettle at home and fill it with all sorts of sweet treats to have with an afternoon caffeine fix. One of my favourite items to have in this jar are these chocolate chip cookies so when they are in the jar they get a quick dispatch. Also if i am having an impromptu dinner party they are a great option to serve with ice cream and oodles of dark chocolate sauce.

Ingredients

75g/3oz butter, softened

75g/3oz light brown sugar

2 eggs

200g/7oz plain flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

Pinch salt

50g/2oz mixed chocolate chips

50g/2oz mixed nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts, shelled hazelnuts and pine nuts

Filling:

Smooth peanut butter-softened

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180?C/350?F/Gas mark 4.

Cream the butter and sugar for 4–5 minutes in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and beat for a few minutes.

Sift the flour with the baking powder and the salt. Measure out the mixed nuts and the chocolate chips.

Add the sifted flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture and beat slowly until the mixture comes together. Next, add the chocolate chips and mixed nuts and beat until combined.

Break some of the dough into small balls and place on a lined baking tray.

Bake for 12–15 minutes in the oven.

Allow to cool down and then sandwich two cookies together by spreading or piping some peanut butter between two biscuits.

Edward’s Handy Hints:

Leftover cookie dough can be frozen very successfully for later use -To freeze it, I tend to roll it into long thick coils and then you can cut the mixture more easily.

Don’t make the biscuits too large as they are quite filling when sandwiched together.
