Peanut Dainties

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

It has been a very hot  week in Sydney, which was not very conducive in making cookies for the New Year.  I have to persist, though, otherwise there would not be any cookies to celebrate Chinese New Year with. 

Here are my delicious Peanut Dainties.




Ingredients

8 oz peanuts, ground
6 oz icing sugar, sifted
12 oz flour, sifted
1 ¼ cup peanut cooking oil
1 egg yolk, to glaze
Peanut halves to decorate


Method

1.    Mix peanuts, icing sugar and flour in bowl.  Stir well.
2.    Add oil to mixture.  Mix until dough is formed.
3.    Take a small piece of dough and roll into a small ball. Flatten slightly.
4.    Continue till all dough is used up.
5.    Brush tops of peanut cookies with beaten egg yolk.  Decorate with peanut
        halves.
6.    Bake at 180 deg C for 20 minutes.






P.S.  Try to make small little balls so that it's bite size.   Enjoy!!
