Encouraged by the success of her recently baked cookies, my daughter decided to bake some more. They look less spectacular but they are equally tasty. Round cookies put on a red napkin really do look like dots, hence their name. The cookies surprise us with a combination of sweet chocolate and salty peanuts, and they taste fantastic with an afternoon cup of tea (without a cup of tea they taste very good as well – it is difficult to resist having one more).

Ingredients:

300g of flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

¼ teaspoon of salt

250g of butter

150g of brown sugar

2 tablespoons of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

90g of dark chocolate

60g of salted peanuts

Heat the oven up to 180 degrees C (without convection). Mix the flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Pulp the butter and sugar to make a fluffy mass. Add the milk, vanilla essence and mix it in. Add the dry ingredients spoon by spoon and then add the chocolate and peanuts. Mix it in until the ingredients bind. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper. Make little balls from the mixture, around the size of walnuts. Put them on a baking sheet. Keep the cookies separate (5 cm apart). Bake for 15 minutes. Take the cookies out when they have hardened a bit.

Enjoy your meal!
