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). Cream butter, vanilla, lemon rind, sugars and peanut butter. With a wooden spoon work in sifted flour, soda and salt, making a stiff dough. Roll heaped teaspoonfuls into small balls with floured hands and place on greased oen trays. Press biscuits down lightly with a fork, first crosswise and then lengthwise, for a crinkled effect. Bake in oven 15 minutes. Cool biscuits on oven trays. ~ The Big Book of Beautiful Biscuits - by the Australian Women's Weekly (?1986)
