cookies with peanut for Cookie Calendar

Brittle, melt-in-your-mouth cookies with subtle nutty notes. Very peanutty, very soft, very beautiful soft yellow, buttery cookies for The Cookie Calendar. I do like this type of cookies very much. Moist, aromatic, beautiful, pretty crumbly, but not too crunchy and mealy. 10 points out of 10.

I made these cookies in several variations, swapping out the peanut butter for pistachio, almond, and cashew butter. The peanut version, for my taste, is the brightest in both taste and smell.

The amount of ingredients given in the recipe will yield about 40 cookies. If this amount seems excessive to you, you can safely reduce all ingredients by half. But… do not: in this case, you will have to knead the second portion of dough right today.
