Peanut Cookies
Description
This recipe blends ground roasted peanuts with powdered sugar and peanut oil to create a flavorful base. Shortening and all-purpose flour provide structure and tenderness. After mixing, the dough is rolled into small balls arranged on parchment-lined sheets. Pressing a circle pattern onto each cookie before baking adds a decorative detail. An egg yolk wash is brushed on top for a shiny, golden finish.
Baking at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes results in cookies with golden edges and a crisp bite. Once cooled, these cookies have a nutty richness enhanced by the roasted peanut component and a tender crumb from the flour and shortening. They store well in airtight containers for up to two weeks, making them convenient for advance preparation or gifting.
Ideal for peanut lovers, these cookies bring a distinctive peanut taste and a traditional shape. Their texture and flavor make them well suited for casual tea times or packed snacks.
