This is the other Pillsbury Bake-Off cookie I made for Christmas 2018 called Peanut Brittle Cookies.
They took the Best of Class Senior Division $1,000 prize in the 4th Grand National in 1953.

I liked the idea of these cookies because I could just break them into pieces after baking and didn't have to shape or even drop them on the cookie sheet. Only these things are crumbly...dare I say brittle. I could barely get them to break into cookie sized pieces and most of it just crumbled to the bottom of the gift bags I placed them in. I also thought the flavor was a bit bland. I drizzled white chocolate on them and it was a definite improvement. It gave them a bit more sweetness and kinda worked as a glue to hold a few of them together. The ones shown in the photos are un-drizzled since I wanted to get a picture more true to the original in the recipe booklet.
I would not make these again. But maybe it's just me, after all they did win $1,000. No one has ever given me $1,000 for being flaky, bland, and nutty.
