Chinese Peanut Cookies
These easy and fragrant Chinese Peanut cookies are crumbly and a bit crunchy as the peanuts are not finely blended, but they are yummy and definitely makes one grab for more.
Ingredients
- 250 g ground peanuts - store bought
- 200 g plain flour
- 110 g icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 120-130 g peanut oil
- 1 egg yolk - + 1/2tsp water, mix well
Instructions
- Sift flour, icing sugar and salt together into a large bowl. Add in the peanut powder and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Add peanut oil gradually and mix till the dough does not stick to the hands. Add a little more oil if mixture is too dry or flour if dough is too oily. **I added about 125g of oil**
- Roll dough into small balls and flatten them a little with your finger (about 10-12g each) and arrange them on a parchment lined baking tray. Apply egg glaze twice.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 15-20 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing into an airtight container.
