CHOCOLATE PEANUT COOKIES
Chokladkakor med jordnötter

These crunchy cookies contain both chocolate and peanuts and is loved by everyone, including me.

Approx 30 cookies

3½ oz butter or margarine

2/3 cup cane sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 ¼ cups flour
some baking powder
3½ oz milk chocolate or dark chocolate
3½ oz toasted peanuts

Heat the oven to 390F.

Stir soft fat and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add egg and lemon zest. Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter and blend well until you have a firm dough. Coarsely chop the chocolate and peanuts and work them into the dough.

Grease a baking plate (or use baking paper). Use two tablespoons for dropping out the dough in suitable pieces onto the plate. Make sure you have 3 – 4 cm between each. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until the cookies are crunchy. Allow to cool on a rack and then keep them in an air-tight jar.

You can also make raisin cookies with this recipe. Substitute the chopped chocolate with raisins and then follow the recipe.

Enjoy!
