Peanut Butter Shortbread Slices

This recipe was made around Christmas time for presents and it was actually amazing. I loved it! But making it takes some time and a little bit of elbow grease.

• 2/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cups finely chopped unsalted peaunuts

Directions:
In a bowl, beat butter with peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the brown sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth. Stir in flour, about 1/3 at a time , to make smooth dough. Divide dough in half; place each half on 12-inch long sheet of waxed paper. Using wax paper as support, roll each half into smooth 8-inch long log. Sprinkle chopped peanuts onto separated piece of wax paper. Unwrap logs, roll in peanuts to coat evenly. Reroll in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, rerolling occasionally to keep log shape. Cut into generous 1/4 inch thick slices; place 1 inch apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake center of oven at 325F for about 25 minutes.
