FIND RECIPE HERE: https://www.lordbyronskitchen.com/peanut-butter-shortbread-cookies/
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cups butter, softened
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sanding sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a sauce pan, add the butter and the peanut butter, and melt together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
Add the honey and the sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until well incorporated into the dough.
Portion the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon portions. Roll into balls and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space around each cookie.
With the back of a fork, press a cross pattern into each cookie, flattening the dough to roughly 3/8 of an inch.
Top each cookie with a scant sprinkle of sanding sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
