Notes
Use roasted peanuts for a deeper, nuttier flavor.If the dough feels too crumbly, add a teaspoon of milk or a bit more butter.Chill shaped cookies for 10 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.You can substitute peanuts with almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts.Add citrus zest or dip cookies in chocolate for variation.Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
