Notes
*** I actually refrigerated the dough until the dough firmed up. Then I preheated the oven and baked accordingly. Use good butter please and good vanilla. This recipe does not call for salt since the peanuts are salty. I bought my peanuts at Trader Joe's - the 50% less salt. I thought they had just the correct amount. Salty and Sweet - just the perfect combination.
