These cookies are from the “Good Housekeeping Cook Book". They are a thin, chewy cookie; very easy to make, and a good way to use up flaked cereal. They have a very nice peanutty taste and texture.
The original called for 1/2 cup butter and no shortening but they spread too much. Half butter and half shortening cured the problem for me.

Salted Peanut Cookies
1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour -- 7 ounces
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Soft Butter
1/4 Cup Shortening
1/4 Cup Shortening
1 1/4 Cups Brown Sugar -- 8 ounces
1 Large Egg -- unbeaten
1/4 Cup Milk
1 1/2 Cups Wheat or Bran Flakes with or without raisins
3/4 Cup Salted Peanuts -- chopped
Preheat oven to 375°. Sift flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt. Cream butter until light and fluffy, gradually adding brown sugar. Add egg; beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in cereal and peanuts. (I chilled 1 hour)
Drop level tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets (about 2 " apart). Bake 8 minutes or until done.
