Peanut Cookies

Chinese New Year Peanut Cookies


Ingredients: (Yields 79 cookies)

180g butter, softened
60g icing sugar, sifted
1/4 tsp salt
180g plain flour
20g corn flour
200g finely ground roasted peanuts

Glazing:  1 egg, beaten

  • Sift plain flour and corn flour together.  Set aside.
  • Cream butter, icing sugar and salt until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in flours and ground peanut to achieve a soft dough.  Put dough into a plastic bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Scoop out portions of dough (8g each) and roll into balls and place them onto a lined baking tray.  Then with the end of a straw press lightly onto the cookie to form the indentation. Glaze the cookies with beaten egg.
  • Bake cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C (or 160°C fan-forced) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
