Salty Peanut Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups salted peanuts
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven's temperature control device to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or, in metric units, 190 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, lightly coat the baking sheets with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing container, combine the brown sugar, shortening, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until they become smooth and airy, taking around 3-4 minutes to achieve this consistency.
4
In a separate mixing container, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
5
Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms; then, stir in the peanuts.
6
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7
Flatten these dough balls slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, creating a flat surface.
8
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies are golden brown, taking around 8-10 minutes to achieve this.
