How to make Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 175°C. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt; mix well.

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter spread and the butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the caster and brown sugars, eggs and vanilla until blended. Beat in the flour mixture just until blended (refrigerate the dough until easy to handle, if needed).

Shape the dough into 2.5-cm balls. Arrange the cookies 5 cm apart on ungreased baking trays. Gently flatten each cookie; press a criss-cross pattern into the tops with a fork dipped in sugar.
