Ingredients

100g unsalted butter , softened at room temperature

100g light brown sugar

100g caster sugar

1 egg , beaten

150g self-raising flour

2 tbsp cocoa powder

¼ tsp salt

200g milk chocolate , 150g chopped into chunks and 50g melted for drizzling

75g peanut butter (crunchy or smooth is fine)

handful of salted peanuts , roughly chopped

milk to serve, optional

Method

Heat the oven to 180c/160 fan/gas mark 4 and line two baking trays with parchment. Using a food mixer or electric whisk beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and whisk to combine then beat in the flour, cocoa powder, salt and chocolate chunks until fully incorporated. Using a spoon swirl the peanut butter through the cookie dough.

Scoop the dough into 12 large cookies onto the two trays using a dessert spoon, leaving plenty of room between each cookie as they'll spread. Bake in the oven for 9-10 mins until still soft and melty in the middle. They will look underbaked but will harden once cool. Drizzle over the melted milk chocolate and top with a few chopped peanuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve with a glass of milk for dunking.
