For a richer flavor, use roasted peanuts. If you like a chewier cookie, underbake them slightly. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a delightful variation, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes) Lightly grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
02
StepIn a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar, shortening, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. (3-4 minutes) This step is crucial for creating a tender cookie.
03
StepIn a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. (2 minutes) This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
04
StepGradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the coarsely chopped salted peanuts. (5 minutes)
05
StepDrop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (5 minutes) Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a greased glass or the back of a spoon.
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (20 minutes)
