Method

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Set your oven to 180 °C (fan-forced if available). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Make the dough:
    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, raw sugar, egg, bicarb soda, and vanilla extract. Stir well until a thick, sticky dough forms.

  3. Shape the cookies:
    Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Place them evenly spaced on the prepared tray.

  4. Press with a fork:
    Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern and flattening them slightly.

  5. Add the salt:
    Sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top of each cookie for that perfect salty kick.

  6. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centres are set but still soft.

  7. Cool:
    Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
