Ingredients:

200g peanut butter

175g golden caster sugar

¼ teaspoon table salt

1 egg

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180c and place a sheet of tin foil over 2 baking trays.

Add the peanut butter and sugar to a large bowl. Add the salt, and mix well with a wooden spoon. Crack the egg and add to the mixture, until it forms a soft dough.

Break off chunks of the dough, and spread across the two baking trays, leaving lots of room between each. Flatten each piece of dough with the back of a fork.

Bake for 12 minutes, at which point the sides will be browning, with a lighter centre. Cool on the trays for a further 10 minutes, before transferring to the wire rack for a final 5 minutes. The cookies are now ready, and can be stored for up to 3 days.
