Chinese Peanut Cookies | Hua Sheng Bing from China

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.

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!
