Step 1
Melt the butter slightly, add sugar to it. Beat the mass until smooth (you need to beat it for about two to three minutes).

Divide the finished dough into two parts and roll lightly into thick cakes. Wrap each cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours (if possible, remove the dough overnight).
Step 5
After the dough is in the refrigerator, you can start rolling it out. Free the cakes from the film, roll them into layers (about 5 mm). Shape the cookies using a cookie cutter or glass.
Step 6
Place the round blanks on a baking sheet lined with parchment. The dough will not flow, so the distance between the circles should be about 1 cm.

Put the cookies in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 10 minutes. After it is browned, remove the pieces from the oven and let cool.

Fry the peeled peanuts in a pan. Cool it down. Grind the nuts in a blender (if you don't have a blender, you can use a pestle or rolling pin).
