Peanut Cookie (花生曲奇)


Peanut Cookie

Peanut cookie is an all time favourite cookie that never fail. I could still remember how good the peanut smell is. Once we open the lid of the peanut cookie's container the smell just rush out and filled the room.

This year, I planned to bake some peanut cookies for Chinese New Year and all I could recall is my Aunt (kao mou) that baked fantastic cookies every year. She gave her all tine recipes which I guess it aged more than 30 years. This is GOLD.. Haha

The ingredients and steps are so easy that took me less than 2 hours for 2 big trays, ended up with 5 dozens of cookies.

My shapes are a little out, the peanut cookies look like the adopted "tau sa piah" but don't judge the book by its cover. They taste really good..
