Servings: persons

1/2 cups Butter
1/2 cups Crisco
1-1/4 cup Peanut Butter
1-1/2 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2-1/2 cups Flour
3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1-1/2 cup Honey Roasted Peanuts
Super Fine Caster Or White Sugar For Sprinkling

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two sheet pans with silpats or parchment paper.
2
Cream together the butter and Crisco until creamy. Add the peanut butter and combine well until creamy and uniform. Add the sugar and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together.
3
In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) together. Add them to the creamed mixture and combine to form a dough. Add the peanuts and mix until just combined.
4
Scoop the dough in large mounds onto the sheet pans. Six cookies should fit onto each pan.
5
Criss cross the tops of each cookie with a fork. Sprinkle them with sugar on the top.
6
Bake the cookies 11-12 minutes or until golden around the edges. (Bake them for about 14 minutes if you like them crispy all the way through).
7
Let them cool on the sheet pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
8
Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
