Peanut Cookies (Chinese New Year Cookies)

I like my peanut cookies to be hard and crunchy instead of crumbly..so just reduce the flour if you want more crumbly cookies...

500gm peanut (roast in oven till golden brown then ground it in a food processor else you can buy ready made ground peanut)
500gm plain flour
50gm sugar + 150gm icing sugar (reduced sweet, original recipe calls for 300gm icing sugar which i feel it will be super sweet)
300ml peanut oil (i use eagle brand only)
Pinch of salt
1 egg for egg wash

Mix ground peanut with sugar, flour and oil until well mix. My food processor can't fit in everything so half of the latter i mix in a bowl...

Then shape into a ball, make a small indentation on the ball with a chopstick, egg wash it then bake in preheated 180c oven for 15-20mins...

This recipe yields about 4 small tub (as the picture in the video)


Original recipe can be found here: https://kwgls.wordpress.com/2014/10/20/peanut-cookies-%E8%8A%B1%E7%94%9F%E9%A5%BC%EF%BC%89/

My family recipe which i fail badly because they're using bowl as measurement instead of gm and i'm so bad at it i can't get the dough right.. it's either too wet or too dry most of the time...

2 bowl of ground peanut
1 bowl of flour
1 bowl of oil
Mix everything well... (using the same size bowl..)
