    These Chinese Peanut Cookies are called Hua Sheng Bing in China. These Hua Sheng Bing are baked for the Chinese New Year. So this traditional bake is a Lunar New Year staple.

    I know these Chinese Peanut Cookies would have made a great choice for H, however, I was happy I made those hot cross buns. For P I had the Pulla sweet bread bookmarked. However, as I had said, this week is sort of hectic and I didn't have time to bake bread. So it was cookies.

    Chinese Peanut Cookies

    I decided on this when I read about Pavani's Hua Sheng Bing and I searched the net again. I landed here from where Pavani also baked. These cookies are supposed to be baked for the Chinese New Year. And the post has a lovely intro to these cookies.

    Peanuts are a staple ingredient at home and baking a cookie with it felt surreal. While I was making the dough, I felt I was preparing the mix for the Peanut laddo that we often make.

    These were really so delicious that I won't mind making these Chinese Peanut Cookies again. I had to scale down so much that I used only 1/4 cup and got just 12 cookies, which was fantastic!

    If you don't have roasted peanuts on hand, either buy readymade or roast them and keep it ready ahead.
    Powder the sugar and keep it aside.
    In a mixer, pulse the peanuts till powdery. Add the powdered sugar and pulse again.
    Melt the butter for 30 secs in MW.
    In a bowl, take the powdered peanut and sugar.
    Add the all purpose flour and mix well.
    Now slowly add the melted butter and mix well.
    Next, add the cooking oil.
    This liquid is enough to bind the powder to balls.
    With your palm, make tight balls, flatten them between your palms into small round balls.
    Make round impressions on top of each ball.
    Preheat the oven to 185C
    I skipped brushing on the top, you can either do egg wash or a wash with egg replacer mix.
    Bake for 15 mins at 185C
    Allow the cookies to cool down before you can handle the cookies well.

      You are so right! These do remind me of the peanut laddoos too, which are my favorite. I've seen cookies made with peanut butter but with peanut powder this is the first I've seen. Can't wait to make these.

      We all did some sort of good luck cookies from China. I love the peanut version as I am a big peanut fan. This is such a easy recipe as well to bake and enjoy anytime.
