Peanut cookies

Ingredients:

600g fried peanuts -remove skin and grind finely

600g sifted plain flour

500g sifted icing sugar

450-500ml peanut oil (Tips: Add the oil enough only to form the dough into balls, the original recipe put 500-600ml. I used canola oil, since I do not have peanut oil at home)

1 beaten egg for glazing

Some peanuts for decoration (Tips: Optional-I did not do this but looks nicer if you have them J)

Method:

(1) mix grinded peanut, flour, icing sugar in a mixing bowl and slowly mix in peanut oil until it can be formed into a soft dough and can roll into ball without breaking. (Tips: Knead for some time as the peanut will produce some pure peanut oils itself and the cookies will smell and taste better)

(2) Form into small balls and placed on baking sheet, glazed with beaten egg. You can choose to decorate the top with half peanut

(3) Bake in pre-heat oven at 180C for about 25 mins till golden brown. Remove, leave to cool before storing.
