Step cooking

1. Before cooking, preheat the oven to 190 °. Pour peanuts in an even layer on a baking sheet and send in a preheated oven for 10 minutes. During this time, peanuts can be mixed once or twice. Make sure that it does not burn.
   
2. When the peanuts turn golden, you need to remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly and peel it off the top husk.
   
3. Pour the finished nuts into a blender chopper and grind into very fine crumbs.
   
4. Add sunflower or peanut butter to the crumbs, continue to grind in a blender until a pasty mass is formed. Periodically clean the walls of the mixer bowl from the adhering mixture of nuts with a spoon.
   
5. In a deep bowl, combine one large chicken egg and sugar. Beat with a mixer for 30 - 40 seconds.
   
6. Then add 240-250 g of the previously made peanut butter to the egg mixture and continue whisking for about 1 minute. The mass should be homogeneous, the consistency should not be liquid and keep its shape well during sculpting.
   
7. Using a tablespoon, collect the dough, form a small sausage with your hands and put it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
   
8. Then lightly crush each sausage with a fork, making a “cellular” pattern, gently squeeze the dough with your fingers in the middle. The shape of the cookie should resemble a peanut figurine. If you wish, you can make cookies of any shape convenient for you.
   
9. Preheat the oven to 180 ° and put bake cookies for 15 minutes.
   
   Important! It is better to place a baking tray with peanuts or peanut cookies in the middle or closer to the upper third of the oven so that nothing burns.
10. Put the finished cookies together with parchment on a wire rack and completely cool. To prepare the cream, you need to melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath. Add 100 g of peanut butter to the melted chocolate and mix well. Cover the resulting cream with cling film and send for thickening for 1 hour in the refrigerator or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
    
11. After the cream has thickened, a small amount of it is applied to one cookie and cover the second, slightly squeeze them together.
    
12. For decoration, you can sprinkle cookies with coconut, powdered sugar or coarse sea salt, make chocolate strips.
