Honey Peanut Wafers
Crispy wafers made with honey-roasted peanuts, spread on a baking sheet and baked until golden brown for a sweet, nutty flavor.
Ingredients
all-purpose flour (spoon flour into a dry-measure cup and level off)
1 cup
baking soda
- teaspoon
sugar
- cup
honey
- cup
large egg
1
unsalted butter (melted)
3 tablespoons
honey-roasted peanuts (finely chopped, but not ground)
1 B/d cups (about 6- ounces/170 grams)
Instructions
1
Step 1
Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
2
Step 2
Stir the flour and baking soda together and set aside.

Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, honey, and egg together until just mixed to avoid making a foamy mixture. Then whisk in the butter.
4
Step 4
Use a large rubber spatula to stir in the flour mixture and the chopped peanuts.

Step 5
Drop tablespoon-size pieces of the batter onto the prepared pans, keeping them about 4 inches (10 cm) apart on all sides. Moisten a fingertip with water and flatten each mound of cookie.

Step 6
Bake the cookies for about 5 minutes, then place the pan from the lower rack on the upper one and vice versa, turning the pans back to front at the same time. If you know that your oven gives strong bottom heat, stack the pan on the lower rack on top of a second one for insulation. Continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and are evenly golden.

Step 7
Remove the pans from the oven and slide the silicone mats onto racks to cool. As soon as you can pry the cookies off the mats, rinse the mats and bake more cookies.
