Chinese Peanut Cookies (ไชนิสพีนัทคุกกี้)

1.Preheat the oven to 170°C. Bake 250 g of peanuts for 20 minutes. Let them cool completely.

2.Grind the peanuts into fine powder, then mix with icing sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour until well combined.

3.Add peanut oil and knead until it forms a smooth dough.

4.For molded cookies: Divide the dough into 20 g portions, shape them into balls, coat them with flour, then press them into molds. Arrange them on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes.

5.For non-molded cookies: Divide the dough into 10 g portions, shape them into balls, flatten slightly, and place half a peanut on top of each. Beat an egg, strain it, then brush it lightly onto each cookie. Bake for 20 minutes, let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
