Helpful Tips:
If you are Malaysian, you can buy the peanuts from local “Mang Chang Kueh” (peanut pancake) hawkers. If you don’t like too much of peanuts, instead of only 1 cup of all purpose flour, use 2 Cups. If you use unsalted butter, it’s better to add a pinch of salt in your recipe. Double the ingredients if you want to make more. Hope you like this homemade Peanut Cookies recipe.
