BOO SCOTTI RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Combine sugar and butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Stir in peanuts. Divide dough in half; shape each half into 13-inch log. Place 4 inches apart onto greased cookie sheet. Flatten each log to 2-inch width. Bake for 24 to 27 minutes or until lightly browned and set. Cool on cookie sheet 1 hour. Heat oven to 325°F. Carefully place logs onto cutting surface. With serrated knife, cut logs diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange slices, cut-side down, onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, turning once, or until crisp. Remove to wire rack; cool completely. Tips: If candy coating gets too thick, reheat over low heat just until coating comes to desired dipping consistency, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons shortening, if necessary. Do not add water or any liquid to candy coating or mixture may harden. Vanilla candy coating can be found in the baking aisle of the supermarket. It is usually shaped in cubes or blocks. Candy coating chips or discs can be purchased from candy or cake decorating stores. Cute candy eyes are available at cake decorating stores. They are inexpensive, easy to use and add the perfect touch to these cookies.
