Gluten-free Kue Kacang
adapted from diah didi

Ingredients:

250 gr shelled peanuts
400 gr plain flour (me: rice flour)
150 gr sugar
200 ml oil (me: much more than this)
1 tsp salt
2 egg yolk + 1 tbs margarine for egg wash

Methods:

• Roast the peanuts in a pan or an oven. If you want to use a pan, see my post about peanut butter. If you prefer the oven roasting method, arrange peanuts flat in a single layer on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the baking pan on the middle rack of a preheated oven 180 C for around 15 minutes. You need to stir it once or twice during roasting.
• Remove from the pan or oven when the peanuts are just slightly under cooked. They will continue to cook during they are cooling down.
• Place them on a kitchen towel and rub with both of your hands to remove their skin.
• Process peanuts in a food processor or blender until fine.
• Combine fine peanuts, flour, sugar, and salt in a big bowl.
• Pour oil bit by bit and mix well. Stop adding oil when the dough can hold together.
• Keep the dough in the fridge for about 1 hour.
• Roll the dough between 2 plastic sheet and cut with your chosen cookie cutter.
• Place the cookie on a greased baking tray and brush with egg wash.
• Bake in preheated oven, 170 C for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Just like the peanuts, the cookies will continue to cook and become crunchy as they cool.
• Enjoy...
