How to Make Ghanaian Peanut Balls African
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grind the roasted peanuts in a food processor until finely ground.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture and ground peanuts) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet and press a slivered almond into the top of each ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the peanut balls cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, store the peanut balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
