 My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and today I'm sharing a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipe is for peanut brittle cream cheese cookies. These cookies are absolutely perfect for the holidays. So let me show you what you're going to need and as always I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. You are going to need sugar, flour, butter, an egg, vanilla, baking soda, softened cream cheese and crushed peanut brittle. So the first thing we're going to do is to cream our butter which is softened and at room temperature, our cream cheese which is also soft and at room temperature, and our sugar. I'm just gonna use a hand mixer and beat it until it's light and fluffy. And now I'm going to add in my egg which is at room temperature and a little bit of vanilla and give it another mix. Now I'm just going to fold in my peanut brittle and my baking soda and my flour. So now I've got the dough all mixed up. It was pretty easy to stir. It wasn't very stiff at all but it is pretty sticky because we've got that cream cheese in there. So now I am going to cover the bowl and then I am going to refrigerate this dough for about three hours. Okay so I let my dough chill and so now what I'm gonna do is just take my cookie dough, roll it in a ball and just place it right on the cookie sheet. And I am using a one and a half tablespoon scoop to do that. Okay so now that I've got my dough on the cookie sheet I'm just taking a fork that I have dipped in water and then I'm just making the traditional peanut butter crisscross on my cookies. Now the directions say to dip your fork in flour and I've never done that before when I've made peanut butter cookies so I'm not gonna do that now. And then it also says after you make the crisscross on your cookie to sprinkle your cookie with sugar but I'm not gonna do that either. I feel like these have enough sugar but I'm just gonna keep going here. So I have crisscrossed all my cookies. I've got my oven preheated to 350 degrees. I'm gonna bake these for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they are light golden brown. Okay so here are the peanut brittle cookies. I let them cook for about 13 minutes each batch and they are pretty tasty. They are not very sweet. They're kind of like a shortbread type cookie. And my husband who is not a big fan of peanut brittle really likes these cookies. Now if you want your cookies a little bit more sweet I would definitely sprinkle the sugar sugar on top. Also another thing I want to mention is definitely use parchment paper. With that first batch you'll remember I did not use any parchment paper and they stuck to the cookie sheet. The next couple of batches I did use parchment paper no problem at all. So anyways I hope you guys really enjoyed this video.
