Citrus Organicus Blog is here!

We start this blog with a super yummy recipe of orange and peanut butter cookies. Well, i am true lover of oranges and peanut butter. I like the combination of sweet, sour and nutty.

So, friends get ready, grab a pen {or pencil} and write down the ingredients.

We need

125g butter, softened

100g sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

75g peanut butter

Grated rind of 1 small orange

50ml orange juice

300gr plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

We will also need two baking sheets and a wire rack to cool our cookies.

What we do

We preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4. Lightly grease two baking sheets.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, peanut butter, orange rind and juice. Sift the flour and baking powder together and beat into mixture.

Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough, spaced well apart on to the baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the back spoon.

Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy with a glass of freshly pressed organic orange juice!
