INGREDIENTS
Makes a 28cm (11 inch) cookie

• 200g (7oz) plant based unsalted butter, softened
• 200g (7oz) light brown soft sugar
• 100g (4oz) golden caster sugar
• 150g (6oz) smooth peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 300g (10oz) plain flour
• ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 150g (6oz) salted peanuts, roughly chopped
• Jude’s ice cream of choice, to serve

METHOD
Beat the butter and sugars together for 1-2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder together; sprinkle the salt over. Stir into the butter mixture with half the salted peanuts to form a thick dough.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/gas mark 4. 

Spoon the cookie dough into an oven safe frying pan and roughly flatten into the edges using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle over the remaining peanuts and bake for 20-25 minutes, until pale golden.

Leave to cool for a few minutes (being cautious of the hot frying pan handle) before serving on the centre of the table with scoops of ice cream in the middle.
