HONEY-ROASTED PEANUT THUMBPRINTS



Honey-Roasted Peanut Thumbprints image

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich in cookie form, these nostalgic treats are just as appealing to grown-ups as they are to kids. Using a combination of honey-roasted and salted peanuts gives them a sweet-salty complexity, while a shot of citrus zest adds brightness. Feel free to substitute other jam flavors for Concord grape. But don't use jelly: It's too thin and will melt right out of the cookies as they bake.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 25m

Yield About 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 2/3 cups/230 grams chopped honey-roasted peanuts
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/110 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), cold and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon or orange zest
2/3 cup/95 grams chopped salted, roasted peanuts (or use more honey-roasted peanuts)
About 1/2 cup/160 grams Concord grape jam (or other thick jam)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together 1 cup peanuts and 1/2 cup flour until the nuts are coarsely ground. Pulse in remaining flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg, then add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pulse in the egg yolks, vanilla extract and zest. Continue to pulse until the dough is well combined and starts to clump (but doesn't form a ball).
  • Working with 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • Put the egg whites in a shallow bowl, then beat them lightly with a fork until frothy. Put the remaining 2/3 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts in another shallow bowl, and stir in the salted, roasted peanuts.
  • Dunk each ball of dough first in egg whites, then in the nuts, rolling to coat the balls well. Place the balls on the baking sheets 2 inches apart. Using your thumb, press an indentation in the center of each round of dough.
  • Using a small spoon (an espresso spoon works well), fill the indentations with jam. Bake until the edges of the cookies are just golden, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

parchment paper
cooking spray
¾ cup chopped dark chocolate
2 cups rolled oats
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup flax seeds
1 cup crispy rice cereal

¼ cup brown sugar

  • Heat honey, peanut butter, brown sugar, agave nectar, canola oil, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture; gently stir until well mixed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together more easily.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Honey peanut bar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for bake sales, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your honey peanut bar cookies turn out perfect every time.
