MARGARITA SORBET WITH SALTED PEANUT CRISPS

Steps:

• To make the sorbet, in a medium saucepan, bring the water, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, and lime zest to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and let cool completely. Stir in the lime juice, tequila, and orange-flavored liqueur. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• To make the cookies, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, grind the peanuts with the flour until the peanuts are in small but discernable pieces-not too fine.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the butter, 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar, and the brown sugar on medium speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Beat in the egg.
• In a small bowl, mix together the boiling water and baking soda and then mix it into the butter mixture. Add the peanut-flour mixture and stir just until combined.
• Place heaping teaspoons of the batter in mounds at least 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets. (You should be able to fit 8 per sheet.) Rap the pan a few times on the counter to flatten the mounds slightly, then sprinkle each with a very generous pinch of sea salt.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets midway during baking, until the cookies are evenly deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then use a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Repeat to bake the remaining batter.
• To serve, offer a few scoops of margarita sorbet with a few peanut crisps alongside.
• Storage
• The cookie batter can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month. The crisps can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container.
• tip
• Make sure the lime zest is grated very finely so that its texture is barely noticeable in the sorbet. A rasp-style grater does the trick nicely, but if you don't own one, mince the zest with a chef's knife.
