Peanuts or Ground Nuts as we call them grows in abundance in our place. Other than extracting oil, we use peanuts to make very delicious sweet and savoury snacks.

Peanut cookies is a sweeter version of snack made with three ingredients

Step 1: Ingredients

100 grams of peanuts
Equal amount of country-made Jaggery. Do not use normal sugar, it will not bind the cookies
About 8 to 10 pieces of cardamom pods

Step 2: Dry-fry the Peanuts

Stir fry the Peanuts in a frying pan over low to medium flame without any oil
When the outer skin of peanuts starts to turn dark brown, remove from stove and transfer to a wide vessel and allow them to cool to room temperature
Once the peanuts are cooled, remove the outer skin with hand

Step 3: Grind Peanuts

Add the skinned Peanuts to a mixer grinder along with cardamom pods and grind to a fine powder

Step 4: Add Jaggery

Break the country-made jaggery into pieces and add to the mixer
Grind everything together to make the cookie mix and transfer to a wide bowl

Step 5: Make Cookies

Now you can use a cookie cutter to shape the mix. You can use any shape you like
Stuff the mix tightly in the cookie cutter. You can use another small plate to press down the cookies
Push the cookies out from the bottom and take them out. No need to add any oil to cookie cutters to remove them
