This is another recipe I’ve adapted from the Cobden Pre-School Centre’s Recipe Book fundraiser from July 1968 (see earlier post for Lemon Biscuits for more from this book).

125 gm butter
1/2 C sugar (I used brown sugar but white sugar can also be used)
1/2 C crunchy peanut butter
1 and 1/2 Cups plain flour
1 egg
1 tspn baking powder
1 tspn vanilla essence
1/2 C chocolate chips

Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugar together then beat in the vanilla essence and the egg.

Fold in the flour and baking powder, then mix in the chocolate chips.

Roll the mixture into teaspoon sized balls, then press down with fork.

Bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius, then cool slightly on the tray before moving to a wire rack.

Makes about 40 biscuits.
