Shortbread rings with nuts
Description
Homemade treats for tea. If you have guests at the door or want to treat your loved ones to delicious "childhood-style" cookies, I recommend making these nutty shortbread rings. This is a traditional shortbread recipe, perfectly complemented by roasted, chopped peanuts. To help the nuts stick better to the surface, brush the cookies with beaten egg white before sprinkling them with nuts. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

2. Prepare classic shortcrust pastry: add baking powder, egg, sugar, and flour to softened butter. I usually knead this dough in a food processor. If you're doing it by hand, you can even grate the butter or mash it with a fork.
