Peanut Butter Cookies

This wonderfully american cookie keeps me from getting homesick. I stress bake at Joey's flat periodically and leave them treats in exchange for use of the kitchen; partially because this keeps me from eating as much as I bake. I could not find a simple peanut butter cookie recipe so I made this one up, and it's pretty good if not a bit sweet.

50g Peanut butter (preferably chunky)
127g Sugar (It is best if you can do half granulated/half brown, but brown sugar is rather expensive so I usually don't)
1 Egg
127g Flour (add slowly until it resembles cookie dough)
1 pinch baking powder

Roll dough into balls and flatten with a fork to create that peanut butter crisscross pattern.
Bake at gas mark 6 for about 10  minutes, or until golden on the edges
Sometimes I add chocolate chips, or drizzle melted chocolate on top since british people don't believe it's a cookie until it has chocolate.
