Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

I love making home-made treats for my kids for afternoon tea. I hope that is shows them that I love them and care about them and that I am thinking about them. I also think it is so much better to make a cookie with simple ingredients, than to buy cookies from the supermarket with their long list of unidentifiable ingredients and additives.

These peanut butter cookies, warm and fresh from the oven, make an excellent occasional treat.

Fresh butter, free range eggs, flour, additive free peanut butter, love. All good, wholesome ingredients that come together with great effect, in this little cookie.

  1. I agree, Dani. I’m a homemade cookie baker too. I like showing my love in this way and they are so much more satisfying than the cardboard taste of a packet biscuit. Think I’ll try these!
