Peanut Butter Crinkles

*This is a melt-in-the-mouth shortbread textured biscuit (cookie), it is delicious!* 125g (4oz) butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter 1 1/4 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bi-carbonate soda (baking soda) pinch salt Preheat oven to 190ºC (375ºF).
