Peanut butter cookies

On a saturday afternoon when I lay down watching some cookery show I was inspired to an extent that I made some hot Peanut butter cookies at home. It was a first time and the recepie is fresh in mind as I made this with just the ingredients from my pantry.

2 tablespoons of Peanut butter
1 table spoon - sugar (you can substitute it with honey)
1 cup of wheat flour
1/2 cup of maida(All purpose flour)
1 pinch of salt to taste
25 gm of unsalted Butter
Jam - 1 teaspoon.
1/2 tsp of vanilla essence
1/4 tsp of baking powder

Sieve wheat flour, all purpose flour with baking soda and salt.
Add butter and peanut butter to the flour and mix well.
Add sugar, vanilla essence to bind everything together with a little of water.

Make small balls of the dough. Flatten them and in the center of each cookie make a dent with your finger tip and place some jam in it.

Place the cookies in the tray and cook them in convection mode for 16-18 minutes at 180 degree centegrade.

Place them on wire rack until it cools. The biscuits are wonderful when they are hot or cold. The crispy ones did not last for more than 20 minutes. Need to make another batch next weekend.

Peanut Butter - If you do not have this ready you can substitute it with simple ingredients mix below:
 1. 1 cup of roasted and peeled groundnuts
 2.  40 grams of butter or 1/2 cup olive oil.
 3. 1/2 tsp sugar
 4. A pinch of salt.
 5. a small piece of cinnamon(optional)

Grind these into a fine paste and you have the peanut butter ready to use.
