They’re great just as they are, but even better with a little extra decoration to turn them into iced Christmas puddings. All you need to do is add a dollop of thick white icing to the top half and a create a spring of holly with sprinkles or coloured icing pens. Magical.

Ingredients
- 240 g All-Natural Peanut Butter
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- Optional decorations: thick white icing & Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Add the peanut butter, light brown sugar, and egg to a large mixing bowl and stir until you have a smooth, combined mixture.
- Scoop up a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and place on a lined baking tray. Repeat for the remaining mixture, making sure to leave enough of a gap between each ball of cookie mixture to allow for spreading in the oven.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Leave cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes and then dollop on a generous amount of thick white icing to the top half of each one, like the icing on a Christmas pudding. Add 2 little holly leaf sprinkles and a red berry sprinkle to complete (or draw on with icing pens if you have these). Serve immediately or keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
