Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup finely chopped peanuts
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1

Cream the butter, add sugar, and egg well beaten. Mix and sift baking powder, salt, and flour; add to first mixture; then add milk, peanuts, and lemon juice. Drop from a teaspoon on an unbuttered sheet one inch apart, and place one-half peanut on top of each. Bake twelve to fifteen minutes in a slow oven. This recipe will make twenty-four cookies. One pint peanuts when shelled should yield one-half cup.
