Happy belated CNY! Made some nutter butter inspired cookies this morning. I still have a few to let my relatives sample tomorrow yay! Peanut flavoured and shaped cookies filled with peanut butter cream! Mmmm. Have not made any successful CNY cookies yet so I guess these'll do :) Peanut is 花生 in Chinese and it represents health and long life! Make these for your friends and family, after all Chinese New Year isn't over just yet.
I'm so proud of these, they really are mega healthy. Dairy free, gluten free, egg free (for vegans), processed sugar free and so cute ~~~
I used buckwheat flour but you can also use a gluten free flour blend and leave out the tbsp of water!
I was actually worried using chunky peanut butter would give me an ugly cookie but it turned out fine :) I still recommend creamy pb though.
What you'll need
Cookies:
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp honey (vegans: use any vegan liquid sweetener)
1 tbsp water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Juice from a small lemon wedge
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
Filling:
2 tbsp peanut flour
Water
How to
1. Mix wet ingredients together.
2. Mix buckwheat flour and baking soda together. Pour wet into dry mixture and combine well.
Preheat oven to 180C
3. Form the dough into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval and flatten. Make the middle part slightly thinner. Squeeze the centre to give it a peanut shape, use a toothpick to make the horizontal and vertical lines across the surface.
4. Bake for about 13 min and cool. Mix 2 tbsp peanut flour with just enough water to get a creamy peanut butter consistency.
Tip: Add water a little at a time!
5. When cookies are cooled spread 1/2 tsp of peanut cream filling on the back of one cookie and top with another cookie :)
