Peanut Cookies

I make these lovely peanut cookies on Chinese New Year, the result is so good. My monster like it so much thank Cooking Crave for the recipe. But have reduce the sugar level because the first batch coming so sweet.

Adapted from: Cooking Crave

600 gm fried peanuts, removed skin and grind finely.
370 gm flour 
350 gm icing sugar (I'm reduce to 200gm)
1 tablespoon butter, soften at room temperature (optional - but, the cookies will be more fragrant with it)
2 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy) (optional - but, cookies will be more peanut aroma if we add it)
Peanut oil for mixing
1/2 teaspoon salt (taste the dough and add more if it's not salty enough )
1 egg, beaten with pinch of salt for glazing

Method: 

1. Shift flour and icing sugar together in a mixing bowl. Add in the grind peanut, butter and peanut butter, mix well. Slowly add in peanut oil and mix until it can form into soft dough, ( didn't measure the oil, just mix it slowly until the dough can roll into ball without breaking. Be careful, don't over mix the oil) (Use a wooden spatula to mix it before using our hand...the dough will be oily and sticky at first) 
2. Form into small balls, place onto a greased baking pan, or we can lined the pan with grease paper. Press top of the balls with a small round shape mould (Can use pen cap) Glaze with beaten egg.
3. Bake in pre-heated oven at 180C for about 20-25mins till it crack a bit and golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool before storing them. (Let the cookies cool before moving them into container as the cookies that's still warm breaks easily)

Notes: 

I'm bake at 160C(fan). Every oven is different.
