Fork-flattened peanut butter cookies with crackled tops and sandy centres. Buttery and fragrant, with a bakery-quality crackle on top. Best the day they are baked, but they keep three days in a tin.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
