Salted Peanut Crisp Grandma Robinson Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl; set aside. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Mix in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture; mix until combined. Stir in peanuts.
• Drop 2 teaspoons of dough on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 3 inches apart. Lightly flatten to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are just golden, about 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Beat butter, shortening, eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
• Mix flour, soda and salt in a separate bowl.
• Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture.
• Mix until well blended.
• Stir in peanuts.
• Drop by rounded teaspoons on greased cookie sheet.
• Flatten with bottom of greased glass dipped in sugar.
• Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Mix and drop by spoonfuls. Flatten out.
• 2. There were no baking directions.
• 3. I googled, what would be a peanut thin cookie...says bake on parchment paper, at 350 degrees, 5 min. I would assume that a peanut thin would be what Grandma would have called a crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix shortening (part butter or margarine), brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla thoroughly. Measure flour and sift into a separate bowl. Blend together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into egg mixture. Mix in peanuts.
• Drop rounded teaspoons of dough about 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten with bottom of greased glass dipped in sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
• In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
• Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• Heat the water to boiling. I use our electric water boiler which holds 7 cups, so need to do it in two batches. In a large, 5-6 quart, heat safe container, dissolve the salt in the water. Add the peanuts, stirring so that everyone is submerged and coated with the brine. Take a plate or pie pan and set it on top of the floating peanuts to make sure they stay that way. Stir them once every hour over the next 5 hours.
• After 5-6 hours, pour off the water using a colander or strainer and rinse slightly. You'll be amazed at how much dirt has come off of them, but they are a natural product grown in the soil. And in my case, the produce market is somewhat "open air" and the bins are not covered, so the birds like to sort through them for loose nuts. You'll want to get the dirt off, but if you over rinse, you'll also remove too much of the salt.
• On two half-sheet pans, it might take more if you have smaller cooking sheets, place a baking cooling rack in side. I use ones that have both the vertical and horizontal wires. Divide the peanuts between the racks and allow them to dry. Depending on the relative humidity of the house, this could take the better part of 2-3 days. Stir occasionally. You might be able to speed this up with a food dehydrator or placing them in front of a fan.
• When the nuts are dry, remove the baking racks from the pans. Put the racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring at the 15 minute mark. Check them at 25 and again at 30, depending on how roasted you like them. I have a smallish oven, so do them on two racks, and also switch racks at the 15 minute mark. The nuts roast best when they are in a single layer.
• If you want to roast them without salt, you must still wash the nuts, but as they are not soaked in the brine, they will take less time to dry out.
• If you wanted to make "hot" or spicy nuts, some liquid hot sauce into the brine would work, but I've not had that request, so can't tell you how much to use.
• This amount of brine could actually handle another pound of peanuts, but 2 pounds is about all we can eat in a reasonable amount of time.
• Also, 1/3 cup of peanuts, out of the shell is considered 1 serving. I have no idea how many peanuts in the shell would give you 1/3 cup!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until soft dough forms. Press dough in pan using floured fingers.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set. Immediately sprinkle marshmallows over crust; bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until marshmallows begin to puff.
• In 4-quart saucepan, cook corn syrup, butter, vanilla and chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted. Remove from heat; stir in cereal and nuts. Immediately spoon cereal mixture evenly over marshmallows. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm. For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and beat well. Combine the 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking soda and baking powder and add to creamed mixture slowly alternating with the buttermilk. Set aside 3/4 cup of the ground peanuts for the topping. Stir remaining peanuts into batter. Spread into a greased 13X9 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool completely before frosting.
• 2. FROSTING DIRECTIONS- combine 1/2 cup of flour and the milk in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring frequently. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and cool completly. In a bowl cream the butter and the powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the cooled flour mixture and the vanilla and beat until fluffy -about 4 minutes. Spread over the cooled cake and sprinkle with the reserved ground peanuts.
• 3. *NOTE* Grandma and mom always used one of those old, silver, cast iron grinders to grind the peanuts. I do it as well because I just like the way the peanuts come out. You might be able to use a food processor, but personally I have never tried it. Just like keeping some of the old traditions I guess!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, oil, water and egg. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan., Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until set. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the chips, corn syrup and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Rice Krispies, peanuts and vanilla., Sprinkle marshmallows over crust. Bake 1-2 minutes longer or until marshmallows begin to puff. Spread cereal mixture over top. Cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars.
