METHOD

• 1. First prepare the peanut butter center stuffing. Combine the peanut butter and coconut oil in a small bowl.

• 2. Preheat oven to 160C and line two large baking trays with baking paper.
• 3. Cream the butter, coconut sugar, Nuvia baking and peanut butter together with electric beaters until butter becomes light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and egg and beat until combined.
• 4. Sift flour, cacao and baking powder into butter mixture. Use a wooden spoon to fold the flour into the butter to form a soft dough. If the mixture is crumble mix in 1 tbsp. of milk at a time until mixture comes together as a smooth dough.
• 5. Divide the mixture into twenty balls of equal size. Using your hands, flatten a ball and then place a piece of the set peanut butter mixture into the center and fold the cookie dough around it to enclose it.
• 6. Place on the tray and put 3 choc chips on the top of the cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.
• 7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 mins. Remove and allow to cool on a wire wrack.
