PEANUT AND ORANGE COOKIES




These are quick, easy to make, absolutely scrumptious and a great way of using up slightly stale peanuts left over from a drinks party.

All you need to make a couple dozen:

50g/2 oz each of softened butter, soft brown sugar and finely chopped salted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
75g/3 oz plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Mix butter and sugar together then add the rest of the ingredients. Combine well to form a dough. Divide into twelve and roll each piece into a ball. Place on a greased baking tray with plenty of space between each one then slightly flatten the balls with a fork.
Bake in pre-heated oven 180˚C/350˚F for approx 10 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
