Make irresistible copycat Tagalong cookies with buttery shortbread, peanut butter, and rich chocolate. An easy homemade Girl Scout favorite everyone will love!
In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment, 1 cup unsalted butter and 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
Add 1 egg and 1/4 cup honey. Mix until combined.
Pour the dry ingredients on top: 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt.
Chop or smash the 1 cup of peanuts and fold them into the dough.
Roll the dough out on a lightly powdered sugared countertop. Cut out shaped cookies and place them on three light-metal colored cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on how crunchy you like your shortbread. If you like them undercooked, get them out at 10 minutes. If you like a crunch, get them out at 15 minutes.
Let the cookies sit on the hot cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing them.
Topping
Once cooled, spread peanut butter on the top of every cookie and then place in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
When ready, melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Cooking for 30 seconds at a time and stirring in between until melted. Be careful not to burn your chocolate.
Working in batches, remove some cookies from the freezer. Fully dip them in the chocolate and then place them on parchment paper to set.
