Ingredients

Scale
  • 125 g all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 60 g ghee or unsalted butter
  • 2 oz fried or toasted peanuts, coarsely ground
  • 60 g powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease or line a baking sheet.
  2. Knead together the flour and ghee until you get a rough dough.
  3. Divide the dough into balls about 2 inches in diameter.
  4. Flatten one of the balls in the palm of your hand, making a little divot in the center.
  5. 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.
  6. Place the filled cookies on the baking sheet. Bake 15–20 minutes until dried and a very light golden brown.
  7. Carefully remove the hot cookies from the tray, and roll in powdered sugar.
  8. Let cool and serve.
