Unctuous Peanut Sugar Cookies | Taiki Dimas

These cookies are my go to for a quick crowd pleaser. The recipe doubles easily, and if you feel it isn’t indulgent enough, you can add some chocolate chips or the like… I often get asked for this recipe, so I thought: “Why not share the love?”

Yields48 Servings

 2 ¾ cups all purpose-flour
 1 tsp baking soda
 ½ tsp baking powder
 1 cup butter / baking margarine (softened)
 1 ¼ cups sugar
 1 egg
 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
 ¾ cup peanuts (roasted and chopped to preference)
 chocolate chips

1

Preheat oven to 190 degrees C (fan assisted).

2

In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder.

3

In a second bowl, cream together butter / baking margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and the vanilla.

4

Start to blend the dry ingredients into your wet batter.

5

Chop your peanuts as small as you wish, I like leaving some bigger pieces in there.
Add this to your batter and stir in.

6

Roll about a teaspoon of dough into a ball and place on your cookie sheet / baking paper lined tray. I like to leave mine as they are for a slightly fatter cookie with a softer centre, but feel free to flatten them with a fork if you want a flatter, crispier cookie.
Repeat 'til batter is done.

7

Bake for 9 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Let them stand for two minutes before moving to cool on wire racks.

8

Attempt to wait two minutes without eating one!
