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.

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.

ALMOST-FAMOUS HONEY-ROASTED PEANUTS



Almost-Famous Honey-Roasted Peanuts image

Nuts4Nuts started as a single pushcart in New York City in 1993. But now, on any given day, more than 80 carts are parked all over Manhattan, dishing out little wax-paper bags of warm candied peanuts. Locals and tourists love the signature treat, and they really go nuts this time of year: Sales double during cold-weather months. The business owners won't part with their famous recipe, but the chefs in Food Network Kitchens crafted this version, and it's just as sweet.

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Cooking spray
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Kosher salt
2 cups unsalted raw peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 ̊ F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sugar, honey, 3 tablespoons water, the vanilla and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins simmering, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sugar mixture dries out and clings to the nuts, 2 to 4 more minutes. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
  • Bake the nuts until the sugar coating begins melting, about 10 minutes. Stir, then continue baking until the nuts are golden brown and glazed in spots, 2 to 4 more minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the nuts to distribute the caramel. Let cool on the baking sheet. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Make your own! I was surprised not to find this recipe on here - it's very easy and tastes better than store bought canned. I clipped this recipe from some newspaper. If you like really sweet then try sprinkling with sugar. DO NOT USE MARGARINE - THEY WILL BURN OR GET TOO DARK. Photos taken by me on 2/26/06.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use creamy peanut butter. This will give the cookies a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough. Just be sure to pack the dough into the tablespoon so that the cookies are uniform in size.
  • Be sure to press the thumbprint into the center of the cookie dough balls. This will create a well for the honey-roasted peanut filling.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. They should be baked until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with the honey-roasted peanut filling. This will help to prevent the filling from seeping out of the cookies.

Conclusion:

Honey roasted peanut thumbprints are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple peanut butter cookie dough that is filled with a sweet and crunchy honey roasted peanut filling. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
