Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Salted peanuts |
| – | Peanuts |
| 1 cup | Granulated sugar |
| 2 | Unsalted butter |
| 1 cup | Unbleached flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1 | Egg |
| 2 tbsp | Milk |
Instructions:
- Adjust oven rack to center of oven (these will bake 1 sheet at a time).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If you have cookie sheets with only one raised rim (best for recipe) or use any cookie sheet turned upside down.
- Line sheets with foil, shiny side up. (Don’t use heavyweight, or cookies won’t bake well) set aside.
- Pour 1 cup of peanuts in bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade.
- Add a few tablespoons of the sugar and briefly pulse machine 10 times to chop nuts into coarse pieces.
- Some will be powdery, some coarse, and some whole, it is okay, set aside.
- Melt butter in a small pan over moderate heat; set aside for now.
- Combine sifted flour and baking soda; set aside.
- Place egg, milk, melted butter, and remaining sugar in small bowl of an electric mixer.
- Beat until mixed; add sifted dry ingredients and the peanuts. Beat again until mixed.
- Transfer to shallow bowl for ease in handling. Spray a foil-lined sheet with Pam.
- Place dough by slightly rounded tablespoonfuls (not heaping) on sheet, placing the mounds 3 inches apart. Try to keep shapes neat.
- Top each with a few of the peanuts (if you like or with as many as you can fit on the top each cookie).
- Bake 1 sheet at a time. After 5 minutes, reverse sheet front to back.
- Cookies will rise, spread out, then flatten into very thin wafers with bumpy tops.
- They will spread out to 3 1/2 to- 4 1/2-inches in diameter.
- Cookies should bake until golden brown, then remove from oven.
- If cookies have run into each other, cut apart immediately while very hot.
- Cool on sheet for 1 or 2 minutes, then slide foil off sheet.
- Let cookies stand until firm enough to be removed.
- Will be easy to peel the foil away from backs.
Enjoy these delightful Thin Crispy Peanut Wafers as a tasty treat or dessert! 😊🥜
