Jumbo Peanut Spiral Cookies
- 3 18 cups all-purpose flour
- 34 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 12 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 38 cup natural-style peanut butter, creamy and unsalted
- 4 12 tablespoons very cold water
- 38 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 12 ounces peanuts, unsalted
- For the filling: chop peanuts and mix in a bowl with brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
- Put flour, butter, sugar, salt and peanut butter into food processor.
- Mix until small pieces are formed.
- Add water and mix until it just holds together.
- Turn out on a floured flat surface and knead dough with floured hands one or two times just that dough holds together.
- Divide it into two parts.
- Layer plastic wrap on surface and well first part of dough with a floured rolling pin to a size of approximately 8.5 x 12.5 inches; set aside.
- Do the same with the second part of the dough.
- Sprinkle the filling onto this part of the dough.
- Cover it with the other part of the dough.
- Roll up from the short side to form a spiral.
- The plastic wrap will be of help.
- For Jumbo spirals roll up from the long side (a little bit tricky).
- Cover in plastic wrap and put into the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat oven (390F/200C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Take spiral out of the fridge and cut with a long knife into 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Before each cutting put knife into very hot water.
- Place spirals on baking paper with the aid of a cake shovel.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until slightly to light golden brown.
- Take tray out of the oven and let cool spirals on tray for 5 minutes.
- Using a cake shovel remove spirals from tray and let cool completely.
- NOTE: the roll up and forming of the spiral as well as the cutting into slices can sometimes be a little bit tricky, be patient.
- Cooking time is chill time and baking time.
