Tips:

  • To make the best salted peanut cookies, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, not margarine, and fresh, roasted peanuts.
  • Be sure to toast the peanuts before using them in the cookies. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the cookies with sea salt while they are still warm. This will help the salt to adhere to the cookies and give them a delicious salty-sweet flavor.
