A Christmas cookie favorite in our family for years. It is a simple cookie rolled in nuts, topped with white frosting and a chocolate-coated peanut.

Ingredients | Pictures Of Pretty Kitchens

1 cup butter

½ cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs, separated

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups chopped walnuts

1 (12 fluid ounce) can ready-to-spread vanilla frosting

1 cup candy-coated chocolate peanuts

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together butter and sugar until creamy and smooth. Stir in the egg yolks and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour and salt; then slowly blend with creamy mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out dough into 1 inch balls. Dip balls into slightly beaten egg whites, then roll in chopped walnuts. Place balls 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and press thumb gently into the center of each cookie. Return to oven, and bake 5 minutes more. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Fill top of each cookie with frosting, and top with a chocolate-coated peanut.
