These cookies are perfect for the holidays and will captivate you with their subtle nutty flavor. Unlike traditional sugar cookies, this recipe doesn't involve rolling out the dough, but rather placing it into special cookie cutters with the desired shapes. This method is convenient because you don't have to re-roll the scraps and overwork the dough. Once the cookies have cooled completely, decorate them with ganache, icing, and colored sugar or sprinkles.

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/3 cups premium flour
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 110 g unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg, beaten
• Cooking spray
• Chocolate ganache
• Royal icing
• Colorful sprinkles or colored sugar
• Special equipment: silicone mold for shaped cookies

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add the peanut butter and egg.
Step 2
• Reduce mixer speed and gradually add the flour mixture until smooth. Place the dough on a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
Step 3
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Press the batter evenly into the sheets; they should be three-quarters full.
Step 4
• Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 9 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack and let them cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Decorate the cookies with chocolate ganache, royal icing, and colored sprinkles.
