For fun cookies that look as good as they taste, try this easy recipe. They have lots of peanut flavor, fluffy frosting middles and holiday-colored peanut M&M's on top. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg, separated |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup finely chopped peanuts, toasted |
1/2 cup vanilla frosting |
m&m's® brand peanut candies |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls. In a small bowl, beat egg white. Dip balls in egg white, then roll in peanuts. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes. Remove from oven; using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center of each.
4. Bake 7-9 minutes longer or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool. Fill centers with vanilla frosting and top with M&M's. Yield: about 2 dozen.
