1/4 cup peanut butter, smooth

1 large egg

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

Beat butter, sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

With a mixer on low speed, beat in flour until blended to form a dough.

Shape the dough into a log 12 inches long and 1.5 inches thick. Roll in the nuts.

Wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper, transfer to a cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
