Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies with Zesty Orange and Oats
Chunky oat biscuits made with wholemeal spelt flour and flavoured with orange. Light on sugar but strong on flavour, they make a good accompaniment to a morning or afternoon cuppa.
Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the orange zest, followed by the egg.
Sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda and add the oats. Mix until just combined.
Place heaped teaspoonfuls well apart on a large lined baking tray or two small ones.
Place in a ready heated oven and bake at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4) for 10-12 minutes, depending on how well done you like your biscuits.
Once out of the oven, leave on the baking tray for a minute or two to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
