Cacahuates (Peanuts)
Two shortcrust-like cookies shaped like peanuts. They are typically filled with cream, but I used apricot jam for this recipe.
Equipment
- 1 large baking sheet
- 1 large silicone mat
- 1 large piping bag
- 1 large piping piece
Ingredients
- 1 cup room temperature butter +2 TBS
- 120 g powdered sugar 1 cup
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 310 g all purpose flour 2 cups
- 2 TBS milk
- jam or filling of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F Beat butter, sugar & vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add flour and mix until it comes together. Then add milk until entire dough is well incorporated. Place the dough in a large pastry bag with a large tip. Pipe dough onto a silicone lined baking sheet. Make dough strips about 1to 1 1/2 inches long. Bake cookies for 15 minutes, until golden. Cool completely, 15-30 minutes. Apply a small amount of jam in center of one cookie and place the other cookie on top. Gently press down. Enjoy!
