These are delicious and a complete hit in my husbands office….. so much so, he poured through hundreds of my cook books to find the recipe for me (I had lost it!)
**Especially for Karen**
and yes, I will send some in tomorrow x
1 tsp Table Salt
250 grams Softened Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
200 grams Dark Chocolate (Over 50%, 70% is good)
2 Cups SR Flour
1/2 Cup Dutch Cocoa
2 Cups Salted Roasted Peanuts
**Note: at this point I must specify that the quality of your ingredients are vital to these being jaw droppingly (is that even a word?) delicious!
To be perfectly honest, bung it all in the processor and zzzzz. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla till light and the colour of a latte. Pop in the Cocoa and combine. Using a spatula, scrape mix into a bowl. Chop chocolate into chunks and mix in with the peanuts. Sift flour and fold in. Don’t over mix, just combine evenly. Roll into TBS balls and place on a lined sheet. Give them a wee squash w a fork and top with a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt. Bake at around 150-170 for 13-15 minutes. Let sit on the tray for a few minutes, then cool on a rack.
These are not sweet cookies, but apparently they are good.
