The Chinese New Year gravy train is steamrolling at full speed now with only five days left until we usher in the Year of the Tiger! And honestly I don't care if we have KFC for Chinese New Year as long as I have my batch of Malaysian cookies to gorge over especially these nutty balls of peanut buttery goodness.
One thing I understand about peanuts is that The Father loves them especially in Malaysian treats. So these peanut cookies were perfect for him and in fact these were a hit with the entirefamily. Even Critique Numero Uno - The Mother - was absolutely impressed with them and took noteworthyjoy in telling me that her job colleagues were in raptures at a mere taste. For me these cookies are so easy to make that I'm confused as to why I've never tackled them earlier!

Simply put these are even better than any of the packet or processed peanut cookies that you purchase but I certainly can't take credit for these gems. The recipe comes from one of my favourite bloggers A Table For Two who loves to churn these cookies out everyyear. He in turn adapted it from here.

Ad-break for some Chinese New Year trivia! Did you know that peanuts are well-likedto eat during this time as it symbolises longevity and also fertility? Personally the fertility boost I can executewithout but yay for living longer! In any case who's to haltyou from enjoying these at any time of the year? The crumbly melt-in-your-mouth texture and the unmistakable peanut buttery taste with the touch of saltiness are just too difficult to resist on the other 364 days of the year.
