Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookies

100g butter, softened
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup dark muscovado sugar (or use brown sugar, whatever you have)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Beat the butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy (about a minute).  Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and choc chips and mix until all combined.  Roll into golf ball sized balls - note that it is a crumbly dough so you need to squeeze it together a bit to shape into a ball, the heat from your hands melts the butter & PB enough to meld everything together.  Pop on a baking paper lined tray, gently flatten with a fork - again its quite a crumbly dough so if you are over enthusiastic you will squish it and it'll fall apart.  Bake at 180 degrees C for 8 minutes for a crispy outer & soft inner, longer if you like them crispier.
