These Peanut Star Cookies are one of my favorite. At first, they are easy to make, secondly, they are very delicious. They are nutty and not too sweet, just as I like.

Instructions

Step 1

Beat 200 g (7.2 oz) Unsalted Butter at room temperature together with 120 g (4.2 oz) Sugar and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract to a cream consistency.

Step 2

Add 1 Egg and mix together.

Step 3

Add 375 g (13.2 oz) All-Purpose Flour, 1/4 tsp Baking Powder and 1/4 tsp Salt. Mix with a paddle attachment. You will have a soft dough. Make a ball and wrap it. Put in a fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, roast and chop 100 g (3.5 oz) of Peanuts.

Step 5

Preheat an oven to 375F(190C).

Step 6

Take the chilled Dough out from the fridge. Divide into 2 pieces (it will be easier to work with).

Step 7

Roll the dough to 8mm thick. Cut the Cookies with a cookie-cutter. I used the star-shaped one.

Step 8

Slightly beat 1 Egg White and brush Cookies with it. Sprinkle them with the chopped Peanuts.

Step 9

Bake for 15 minutes at 375F (190C).
