As requested here is a picture of the peanut butter and hazel nut cookies. The hazel nuts certainly give a bigger flavour to the cookies than using just peanuts.

The recipe is really easy its a standard cookie mix but you use half butter half peanut butter (110 g of each), brown sugar (220g) instead of white, plain flour (150g) with baking powder (half tea spoon), an egg, chopped hazel nuts (75g) and some sesame seeds to sprinkle on the top.

Mix the peanut butter and butter together and then gradually incorporate the sugar and beat well together. Then gradually add the egg and mix thoroughly. Then sift in the flour, baking powder and nuts. Fold into a dough with a metal knife or or spatula. It will be quite a sticky dough. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and leave in the fridge for 30mins.

Heat oven to 180 C and grease some baking trays. The cooled dough should make 20 biscuits. Split into 20 blobs and roll each into a ball. Put each ball on to baking tray about 4cm apart and flatten ball slightly sprinkling sesame seeds on top. Bake for about 15 mins, although in my oven the top shelf of cookies are usually ready in 12 or 13 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Enjoy!
