For the best flavor, use freshly roasted peanuts and grind them just before starting the recipe. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil at a time until it comes together. If it's too wet, add a tablespoon of flour. The egg yolk glaze is optional but adds a beautiful shine and richer flavor. You can also sprinkle sesame seeds on top before baking. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their delicate texture.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the finely ground peanuts, all-purpose flour, corn flour, and confectioners' sugar until thoroughly combined. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in the vegetable oil, mixing with a spatula or your hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

Step
10 mins
Pinch off approximately 2 teaspoons of dough at a time. Gently roll each portion into a smooth, round ball, about 1/2 inch in diameter. (10 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Place the peanut cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small space between each. If desired, lightly brush the tops of the cookies with the beaten egg yolk for a glossy, golden finish. (5 minutes)
06

Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are a light, golden brown. Watch them carefully to prevent burning. (6-8 minutes)

Jun 20, 2025I found that they browned a little too quickly in my oven, so I reduced the temperature to 325°F and baked them for a few more minutes.
