Okay...I know these aren't cookies, but they are a favorite holiday treat of my daughters.
Sugared Peanuts
2 cups raw peanuts, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water
Use heavy saucepan. Combine peanuts, sugar, and water and place over medium heat, cook. Keep boiling and stir until mixture crystallizes and coats peanuts, about 10 minutes. Spread in a buttered cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt and put in 300 degree oven for 15 minutes. Stir them around and bake 15 minutes longer. Cool and store in covered container. |
