*PEANUT BRITTLE COOKIES*


(RECIPE POSTED BY DIANA ROSS MADILL)
Here is a recipe for some cookies that have become our favorites. You can use them to make fantastic ice cream sandwiches. Freeze the cookies before you put a scoop of ice cream between them, wrap sandwiches individually and return them to the freezer. The cookies are equally good on their own.

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 Tblsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp. each baking soda and salt
1 pkg. butterscotch chips
2/3 cup Skor Toffee Bits
1 1/2 cups peanuts (salted or plain)

Preheat oven to 350*F.
In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs together.
Add flour, baking soda and salt, mix well.
Add remaining ingredients, mix again.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets, about 2" apart.
Bake for 12-13 minutes or until slightly golden.
Let cool on sheet for 3 minutes and then remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
Will make about 4-5 dozen cookies depending on size.
