Peanut Cookies with Caramelized Nuts
If you love peanuts, this recipe is for you. The cookies turn out tender and crumbly, and the taste is enhanced by caramel. I recommend adding a pinch of sea salt for a perfect balance of flavors. Replacing peanuts with other nuts is allowed, however, it will change the essence of the dish.
