Ingredients

Filling

  • cup peanut butter
  • cup icing sugar
  • 20 g 4 teaspoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Biscuits

  • 50 g 2oz butter
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200 g dark chocolate melted plus 150g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¾ cup plain AP flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder sifted
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa sifted
  • sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Start by making the filling. Put all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Set it aside.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C (356F) fan-forced and line two baking trays with baking paper (or grease them).
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and vanilla together until light and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and beat each one in well.
  • Pour in the melted chocolate and mix it through.
  • Add the sifted flour, baking powder and cocoa and beat until they are just mixed in.
  • Take the bowl off the stand and scrape down the sides.
  • Stir through the chopped chocolate.
  • Using a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball and flatten it between your hands (if the dough is too sticky, put it in the fridge for 10 - 20 minutes to firm).
  • Spoon a teaspoon of peanut butter filling into the middle and fold the edges up and over to enclose it.
  • Lay the dough on the baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the dough, leaving at least 3 cm between each ball.
  • Sprinkle each one with a little bit of sea salt.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let them rest on the trays for 5 minutes (or until they firm up) and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
