Ingredients
  • 125g (4½oz) peanut flour
  • 60g (2oz) dairy-free spread
  • 100g (3½oz) peanut butter
  • 100ml (3½fl oz) agave nectar
  • 25g (1oz) cocoa nibs
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC/Gas Mark 3. Place the peanut flour into a mixing bowl and rub in the dairy-free spread with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  2. Bring the cookie dough together with your hands and form into a large sausage shape, around 6cm (2in) in diameter. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Slice the dough into 12 discs and place on a baking sheet. Press each cookie lightly with a fork.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown but soft to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
Tip

These cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to five days. The peanut flour gives these cookies a distinctive, dark colour. If you prefer a thinner, crisper cookie, shape the dough into an 8cm (3in) diameter sausage and cut into 16 cookies. For a more rustic appearance, shape the dough into balls, place on the baking sheet and flatten with a fork before chilling.
