Last year, around this time I was busy doing CNY cookies. The outcome of the cookies were fantastic. The peanut cookies have the melt in the mouth effect. I did it for all my family members and colleagues, all of them love it. Some of them can’t stop eating it. The satisfaction of knowing that the cookies is a best seller is priceless. Too bad, this year around I don’t have much free time to do it …. Hopefully you all will give it a try and love the recipe too.

100g peanut powder( grind peanuts till fine )
100g plain flour
