Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups roasted peanuts, unsalted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Chop 1 1/4 cups roasted peanuts roughly in an
electric blender.
- In a large mixing bowl combine:
2 3/4 cups flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat together:
3 eggs
1/4 cup water
- Add to flour mixture and mix just until ingredients are incorporated.
A little more water, a teaspoon at a time, can be added if mixture
is too dry to make a smooth dough. Stir in peanuts.
- Divide the dough into two portions, and form each into a log approximately
3 inches in diameter. Place the logs on the cookie sheet about 3 to
4 inches apart and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake in preheated oven until light brown, about 40 minutes. Take
out of the oven.
- Turn the oven down to 300 degrees. Let logs cool for 10 minutes,
then cut into 3/4-inch thick bars. Bake cookies once more, to crisp,
15 - 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
