Instructions
Add all the unsalted peanuts into a food processor and ground until you get a smooth paste.
In a medium bowl, combine and mix all the wet ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk the rest of the dry ingredients together and add in the peanut paste. Mix and combine well with a spatula.
Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula.
Use your hands to knead the dough until you get a smooth dough.
Preheat fan-forced oven to 160C or 320F. Position the oven rack in the lower third of your oven.
Using your hands squeeze some dough together and form a small ball (20g/1oz), repeat until you have used up all the dough.
Place each cookie dough ½ inch apart, onto large non-stick baking trays lined with baking paper.
Press each halved peanut gently onto the center of each cookie dough.
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, store in an air-tight container.
