Ingredients
[edit | edit source]- 125 g all-purpose flour, sifted
- 60 g ghee or unsalted butter
- 2 oz fried or toasted peanuts, coarsely ground

Procedure
[edit | edit source]- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease or line a baking sheet.
- Knead together the flour and ghee until you get a rough dough.
- Divide the dough into balls about 2 inches in diameter.
- Flatten one of the balls in the palm of your hand, making a little divot in the center.
- Spoon about 1–2 tsp peanuts into the center of the dough. Pinch the edges of the dough together to enclose the peanuts, and gently reshape into a ball.
- Place the filled cookies on the baking sheet. Bake 15–20 minutes until dried and a very light golden brown.
- Carefully remove the hot cookies from the tray, and roll in powdered sugar.
- Let cool and serve.
