Had made these fragrant peanut cookies last week and the reviews from neighbours were awesome!!
One of my neighbours even ordered one tin from me.. I was over the moon..hehe..
All thanks to Sonia the Nasi Lemak Lover's recipe.
3 cups roasted and skinned peanuts or ground nuts
3 cups plain flour
1 cup icing sugar
1/4tsp salt
1/3 cup pork lard oil (fry small cubes of pork fat in a clean wok, till lard oil come out)
3/4 cup cooking oil (with peanut flavours)
1 egg yolk, for glaze
Method
To prepare roasted peanuts (I use a mixture of store-bought ground and grated peanut to give some texture)
1. Wash and clean the peanuts.
2. Sun dry peanuts or straight put into a clean wok without oil
3. Roast peanuts over low heat till cooked and golden brown, stir from time to time.
4. Set aside to cool, then remove the skin.
To make peanut cookies
1. In a food processor, finely chopped peanuts. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt and chopped peanuts.
3. Add in lard oil and slowly add in cooking oil to form a soft and smooth dough.
4. Pinch dough and weight 10g each, roll to ball size and place on a lined baking tray.
5. Use a sewing thread cone to press on the center of each cookie to create a round pattern. Brush top of the cookies with egg glaze.
6. Bake at a pre-heated oven at 170C (no fan forced at middle rack) for 20mins.
