The biscuits this week were Nigella’s salted peanut cookies – yummy – the recipe as follows:
75g soft brown sugar plus extra for dipping
100g butter and 50g vegetable shortening eg Trex
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
175g self-raising flour
125g salted peanuts
Heat oven to 180 deg
Mix together sugar, fats, egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and then the peanuts. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the baking sheet. Oil the bottom of a glass, dip into the extra sugar and squash down the cookies to flatten. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Easy
