Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
Wonderfully crumbly cookies packed with chunks of chocolate, crunchy nuts and laced with lashings of delicious peanut butter. Yum! If you don't want to bake the whole batch, or want to double up and save some for later, these freeze brilliantly, so just freeze the raw cookies and then remove them from the freezer, defrost and bake them when you need them. This recipe is from BOSH! ON A BUDGET - The Waterstones edition.

- Add the peanut butter and stir well, then fold in the flours
- Roughly chop the peanuts and chocolate into 5mm pieces and stir through
- Squeeze the mixture together with your hands, it should come together easily, if not add a splash of soy milk and mix again
- Tip on to a clean work surface and bring together into a tight mound
- Roll golf-ball-sized pieces of dough into balls and press each one into neat 1cm-thick rounds
