Published Feb 05, 2021 Updated Nov 03, 2024 I grew up helping my late aunt making hundreds of peanut cookies…shaping them into round balls. Next, I used the cap of a toothpaste to form the circle pattern on top of each cookie. The last step was brushing the top of the cookies with egg wash, using a Chinese calligraphy brush. Peanut cookies are crumbly and absolutely addictive. Once I start eating, I just can’t stop. The recipe calls for only six (6) main ingredients:
Ground roasted peanut All purpose flour Peanut oil Powdered Sugar Shortening Egg yolk or egg wash
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients. Form the dough into small balls and decorate the top and brush with egg wash. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.
