These crunchy peanut cookies with a rice krispies coating offer a twist on your average peanut butter cookie recipe. The rice krispies add a unique and satisfying crunch to the cookie texture. The recipe calls for unsalted butter, making it suitable for those who are mindful of their salt intake and allows for the natural saltiness of the peanut butter to shine through. These cookies are best enjoyed with a cold glass of milk for the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavours. So grab the ingredients and get baking for a delicious and satisfying treat!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

4.	In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together before adding to the wet ingredients. Fold in until just combined.
5.	Stir in the puffed rice cereal whilst being careful not to over-mix.
6.	Using a dessert spoon, scoop out portions of the cookie dough and shape into balls.
7.	Roll each ball in a bowl of puffed rice cereal to coat the outside of the cookie.
8.	Place the cookies on the baking trays and gently flatten with the back of a fork.
9.	Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
10.	Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
