180g butter, softened
60g icing sugar, sifted
1/4 tsp salt
180g plain 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.

These peanut cookies must tasted amazing! Are the peanuts ground finely or just like hazelnut meal?
ReplyDeleteThe roasted peanuts were ground quite finely. But I supposed it's up to one's preference.
