How to Make Chocolate Peanutties

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 125g softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 150g caster sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually stir in 150g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder until just combined. Gently fold in 100g sesame seeds (or your preferred nut).
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll each ball in extra sesame seeds.
  5. Place the balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a few centimeters between each cookie. Gently flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Check for doneness after 15 minutes
  7. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking tray before serving or storing in an airtight container.
