Ingredients
- 1 + 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup Richganics Honey Peanut Butter
- 4 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup cold butter (55g)
- 1/4 cup warm milk
- Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, icing sugar, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Add the Butter
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add it to the dry mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. This step gives the cookies their tender texture.
- Incorporate the Peanut Butter and Milk
Pour Richganics Honey Peanut Butter and warm milk into the bowl. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too soft or sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes.
- Shape the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
- Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Gently press each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Chill Before Baking
Place the baking tray in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much during baking.
- Bake
Bake the chilled cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them—the exact time can vary depending on your oven.
- Cool and Enjoy
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, pour yourself a cup of tea or milk, and enjoy!
