Peanut Brownie Cookies>>
Ingredients:

-125g butter- softened
1 cup or 250g castor sugar
1 egg- lightly beaten
1& 1/2 cups or 185g plain flour
1 tsp Baking powder
2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
1/2 cup or 90g dark choc bits/chips

Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180*C / 350*F / Gas 4.
2. Spread the chopped peanuts on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 mins until lightly golden.
Set aside to cool. (Can skip this step if u bought ready chopped peanuts ;p)
3. Lightly brush 3 baking trays with melted butter or oil.
4. In a small bowl, beat the butter and sugar with electric beaters for 2-3 mins until creamy. Gradually beat in the egg. Sift together the plain flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.

6. Stir in the peanuts and choc bits.
7. Place heaped tablespoonsful of mixture, well spaced to allow for spreading, onto the prepared greased trays.
