香脆花生奶油饼 Crispy Peanut Butter Cookies

Lebaran is around the corner and my maids are getting geared up for their forthcoming balik kampung to celebrate the occasion with their family. 

开斋节即将到临而家里的女佣们已开始筹备着回乡跟家属一起共度。

Instead of spending money to buy Raya cookies, I suggested making a batch of cookies for her to bring home. Coincidentally I have a batch of peanut butter jam which will expire soon hence put it to good use.

以其花钱购买庆祝开斋的饼干我建议他们自己尝试制做一批带回去。正好家里刚好有着快要过期的花生酱可以拍得上用场，一举两得。

For this recipe, we opted for margarine rather than butter because my maid wants to try making it again in her hometown and butter is too expensive for them to be used in baking.

在今天这道食谱里，我采用了人造黄油来取代奶油，原因是女佣们想回乡后再补加多制做送给亲友们而奶油对他们来说过于昂贵，他们一般都是采用人造黄油，即方便和价钱还付得起。

Directions 做法

Preheat oven to 175C degrees. 

烤箱预热至175C度。

Line baking tray with parchment paper.

烤盘铺上烘焙纸。

Combine and sift (A) into a bowl until even. Set aside.

材料A一起沥入碗中，混匀搁置。

Cream margarine (B) with sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract to incorporate. Add eggs in two additions and mix until even.  Add peanut butter and continue mixing to form a smooth and uniform batter.

把人造黄油B及砂糖放入搅拌盆，以高速度的打蛋器打至松发。加香草精混匀。再分次把鸡蛋混入，混匀后又加花生酱继续混合成光滑均匀的面糊。

Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold the batter thoroughly with rubber spatula to mix the cookie dough.

沥入面粉料A再以慢速稍微的混合。接着用橡皮刮板将粉料A混入面糊形成饼干面团即可。

Scoop 1/2 Tbsp of cookie dough and roll into balls.  Arrange cookie balls 2" apart on the prepared baking tray.

舀起1/2汤匙的饼干面团滚成圆球，排列烤盘上，每个饼干都给予2“空间。

Use a fork to imprint and flatten the cookies slightly. Sprinkle castor sugar (C) over the top and bake in the middle rack of the preheated oven for 11-13 mins until lightly browned.

用叉子轻轻的把圆球压平和打印，表层撒上适量细砂糖C，置入已预热烤箱的中层烤架烘烤11-13分钟，直到饼干表层上色即可。

Allow the cookies to cool before storing in air tight containers.

待饼干冷却后便可装入密封容器中。
