Those peanut butter cookies are crisp and slightly crumbly, and have an fantastic peanut butter taste. Feel free to replace rolled spelt flakes and spelt flour with oats and wheat flour. The recipe has been adapted from Delicious Magazine.

  • 100 g Butter, softened
  • 180 g Crunchy peanut butter
  • 80 g Sesame paste
  • 150 g Light soft brown sugar
  • 1 Large free-range egg
  • A few drops of vanilla extract
  • 125 g Rolled spelt flakes
  • 80 g Raisins
  • 125 g Spelt flour #630
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper. Beat the softened butter, peanut butter and sesame paste in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the sugar and beat again until well mixed.
  2. Add in egg and vanilla to the peanut butter mixture. Beat again with the wooden spoon. Add the rolled spelt flakes and raisins to the mixture, sift over the flour and baking soda and mix well.
  3. Put large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the trays, spacing slightly apart, and bake for 20 minutes until light golden. Remove from the oven. Leave to firm up on their trays for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days.

  83. I am drooling with just the mention of peanut butter, can't wait to try this recipe. How to make sesame paste?

    ReplyDelete
  84. I have made tahini-based cookies before, but never cookies with three types of butter~ sounds wonderful actually! Now I have to get familiar with spelt flour, which I have seen in your site so often and still never used.

    ReplyDelete
  85. hi angie, have to look out for that flour ans flakes.. hope its available over here. these peanut butter, sesame, raisin cookies looks delicious and am sure they taste delicious too..must try and thanks for the recipe

    ReplyDelete
  86. We've never used tahini in a baked good, but that's a good idea. It's a nice way to add flavor underneath the layers.
