Peanut Cookies

    Peanuts are a favorite in our house and they don't last long but after a recent party, I discovered a whole jar of the roasted variety left over. The cookie jar was empty so I found a shortbread-type recipe that called for a coating of finely crushed peanuts that seemed just the ticket. The dough was formed into balls, dipped in egg white and then into the peanut crumbs. After baking and cooling, the cookies were given a little slap of vanilla frosting and topped off with chocolate chips. Pop had his with ice-cream - definitely not a low-calorie dessert but he loved it.
