These easy Peanut Butter Biscuits are so simple to make – and eat!!
I recently went to make my Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe only to discover that we didn’t have any chocolate chips (thanks to my husband who likes to eat them straight from the bag!!) so I went in search of another peanut butter recipe that we could make.
This recipe for Peanut Butter Biscuits is based on one I found in an old CWA Cookbook (aren’t they the best!!!) and I modified it slightly by adding a little less sugar than suggested, as let’s face it, my kids don’t need any more sugar in their lives!
We used our Thermomix to make these biscuits, however they are also super simple to make conventionally too. The boys helped me to roll and decorate these biscuits and we managed to get around 36 biscuits when using a tablespoon (and the boys make have used their hands!) to scoop the mixture. You can also make larger biscuits if you prefer, you will just need to give your Peanut Butter Biscuits a little bit longer in the oven.
Enjoy!
