Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170C/gas 3. Butter the sides of a 20 x 20cm square cake tin and line the base with greaseproof paper.

2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a small bowl and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter together until very soft. Add the sugar, egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder and the chopped chocolate and mix to form a dough.

5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin, before removing and cutting into squares.

They also needed to cook longer for me but they were very good once finished.

I too would say they need longer to cook - a good 40 minutes.

I used to make peanut butter cookies for my children when they were younger, I made these for my grandchildren and my daughter tried one and said how it took her back to when she was younger and how yummy they were

i've just baked these and they are lovely very moist and doughy, but i think they are supposed to be . . .don't think they will last long when the kids come home from school!!

despite following recipe to the letter, my blondies took a good 45 mins, even then the middle was doughy. I checked oven temp with thermometre and 20cm tin used. Helppppp!!!!!!
