Chinese Peanut Cookies (花生饼干) – Chinese New Year
Melt-in-your-mouth nutty Chinese Peanut Cookies are my Gugu’s all-time favorite. She would often send me the best Peanut Cookies she could find every Chinese New Year. This year however, I am going to send her some homemade Peanut Cookies instead.
Often also known as, “花生饼干”. These cookies are so rich and indulgent. Using Rice Flour instead of All-Purpose/Plain Flours makes the cookie even more melty when it hits your mouth. It also makes it gluten-free!
Be sure to use freshly roasted peanuts instead of rancid ones.
My advice for rolling out pastry is always to roll out between two wax/parchment papers instead of dusting it with flour. Excess flour will change the texture of the cookie, making it tough and flavorless.
