We all have our favourite Chinese New Year cookies. Our personal favourite is the peanut cookies! It’s nice, crumbly and it melts in your mouth. Not to mention extremely addictive – you start with one and before you know it, half the container would’ve vanished.
Also, it’s really easy to bake so that scores extra points for us women who are going to be super busy preparing Chinese New Year goodies for relatives and friends. Don’t believe us? Try it!
You will need:
4 cups ground roasted peanuts
1 cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
1 cup peanut oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg yolk, beaten slightly for egg wash
Method:
1. Mix the ground peanuts, sugar, oil, shortening and flour together until well combined.
