Instructions
• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. • Weigh 200g butter and set aside at room temperature to soften. • Weigh 310g basic sponge mix.
TIP: Weigh out your ingredients before you start as we've sent extra basic sponge mix!
• In a medium heatproof bowl, place white chocolate chips. • In a small saucepan, heat light coconut milk (see ingredients) over medium heat until just steaming, 1-2 minutes. • Pour coconut milk over white chocolate, then stir until melted and combined. Place in fridge to cool, 20-30 minutes.
TIP: You want the coconut milk steaming but not boiling!
• Meanwhile, place softened butter, brown sugarand vanilla-flavoured essence in a large bowl. • Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. • Add the egg and beat until well combined, 1 minute.
• Add measured sponge mix to the bowl with the creamed butter mixture. • On low speed, beat until dough just comes together, 1-2 minutes. • Using a wooden spoon, stir in granulated peanuts, until just combined.
TIP: Beat until the dough just comes together, overbeating can cause the cookies to become tough.
• Roll heaped tablespoons of cookie dough into balls. You should get 15-20 cookies. • Divide dough balls between two lined oven trays, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until just firm to touch. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. • Meanwhile, roughly chop slivered almonds. • Heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast almonds, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
• Transfer peanut cookies to a plate or board. Drizzle with white chocolate ganache. • Sprinkle over toasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
