Peanut Crispy Cookies!


Dear Martha Stewart,

Your recipes fill my kitchen with deliciousness. These cookies are an awesome mix of sweet and salty. They are light and crispy, easy to make, and oh so good! My family has already started requesting them. Yes, they will be making an appearance at Christmas.

Love,
Katie


Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 stick butter (recipe calls for 1/2 stick, but they are thinner this way)
1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dry roasted peanuts

Directions:
-Set oven at 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper
-Mix flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl
-Mix butter and brown sugar
-Gradually mix egg and vanilla into sugar/butter mix
-Combine wet and dry mix
-Add peanuts
-Press 1.5 inch balls of mix onto baking sheets (2-3 inches apart)
-Bake for 12 minutes (rotate once)

Makes 3 dozen- or more- I can usually get 4 dozen out of this. Nutrition info is for 4 dozen cookies.

Nutrition: 68 calories per cookie (76.3 if you use more butter)
