How to Make Peanut Cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toast 1 cup of peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly, then grind into a fine powder using a food processor.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add the ground peanuts to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, mixing until just combined.
- Beat in 1 large egg until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- For an egg wash finish: Brush each cookie with a beaten egg. For a confectioners' sugar finish: skip this step and proceed to step 10.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar while still warm (optional).
