METHOD
- Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease and line 4 oven trays with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and peanut butter together, until creamy. Add sugar, egg and vanilla, and beat until light and fluffy. Fold flour and Violet Crumble bar through mixture.
- Roll level tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls. Arrange on prepared trays about 4cm apart. Flatten biscuits slightly.
