This is a wonderful recipe with an amazing flavour! I used margarine instead of the butter, and omitted the cornflakes (only because I didn't have any on hand). Instead of the lemon drizzle icing, I used a pastry bag to pipe melted chocolate in stripes across the cookie & a big rosette in the middle to stick a whole peanut on top. My husband cannot get enough of these cookies! I also won 3rd prize at the County Fair with this recipe in a contest sponsored by one of our local peanut growers!!

this is my new favorite cookie! didn't use the glaze because i ran out of time, but they were super without it.

Wonderful cookies! Not too sweet and have a great flavour. I too omitted the cornflakes and used salted mixed nuts. I used a one-inch cookie scoop and got 36 cookies - baked at 175 C for 10-11 minutes. The drizzle icing is perfect for these! Thank you for sharing!

What a wonderful flavor. A big hit at a Mexican themed luncheon that our class hosted at Church. Very easy to make.
