Put that cookie down - NAOW!
MAKES 12+ (depending on the size you want the cookies to be)

You will need:
a greased baking tray or one covered in greaseproof paper
1 cup of flour
1 cup of honey nut cornflakes
1 cup of oats
1/2 cup of melted butter/margarine
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of peanut butter (can be crunchy or smooth)
1 medium egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
N.B.: One cup equals roughly half a pint/284ml. Just make sure you use the same measuring jug each time and you shouldn’t have a problem!
In the video I am making two batches in one, so there will be a lot less than that when you make them for yourself.
1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (170 degrees with a fan oven)/gas mark 5.
2. Cream together the margarine and both sugars, then mix in the peanut butter, egg and vanilla essence. Stir until blended thoroughly.
3. Mix in the rest of the ingredients, using your hands if necessary as the dough gets quite thick, until it is all blended into a dough.
4. Drop large tablespoons of the dough onto the baking tray. You will notice in the video that I didn’t do this (stupidly), and also put them too close together, ending up with a giant flapjack-like mass. If you want large cookies, space them out more, as they will expand.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. The cookies should be soft but not spongy/doughy to the touch, and you can always check the inside of them by using a sharp knife. If the knife comes out clean, they are cooked.
