🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

6. Cut the dough into strips about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide to form stick shapes.

7. Brush each stick lightly with milk to help the peanuts adhere.

8. Carefully press the chopped peanuts into each stick, covering each piece evenly.

9. Place the peanut sticks onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

11. Remove the sticks from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Serve and enjoy your crispy, peanutty treat!
