Peanut Cookies

Makes about 70 - 80


Ingredients
Grounded peanut - 300g (You can buy the grounded peanut from Fairprice)
Castor sugar - 150g
Plain Flour - 250g
Vegetable oil (I used Canola oil) - 200ml (use only enough to hold the dough together)
Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Peanuts / Cashew nuts (halved) - a handful
Egg Yolk for glazing - 1

Method
- Preheat oven to 200 degree celsius.
- Sift the flour and sugar, add salt and mix well.
- Add the peanut powder and mix.
- Drizzle half of the oil into the flour mixture, using your hands, knead into a dough till the sugar has melted. Do not pour all the oil in at one time. If the dough breaks easily, add in more oil. Try rolling a small piece of the dough into a ball and if it doesn't fall apart, the dough is ready.
- Scoop a teaspoon of the dough, roll into small balls and place them on the baking tray with baking paper.
- Place half a peanut / cashew nut on the top, pressed it in gently, glaze and put in the oven.
- Bake for 17-18mins.
