Ingredients
Peanut Butter Base
- 250 gm Peanuts roasted
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 tbsp Jaggery molasses-like sugar. can substitute with brown sugar.
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
Make the Peanut Butter
- In a food processor, pulse roasted peanuts until finely ground but not completely into a powder. Add salt, jaggery, and oil. Process until a smooth, creamy peanut butter forms, similar in consistency to store-bought peanut butter.
Combine Ingredients
- Transfer the peanut butter to a bowl. Add granulated sugar and egg. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape and Bake (or No-Bake!)
- The dough will be soft. Roll into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter). Flatten slightly with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern on top to prevent puffing.
Baking Instructions (Optional)
- For baked cookies: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
No-Bake Option (Optional)
- For no-bake cookies: Place the shaped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Cooling and Serving
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. They will firm up as they cool.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of jaggery.
- If your peanut butter is too thick, add a teaspoon of oil at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- For a sweeter cookie, increase the amount of sugar to 150g.
- To make these cookies even healthier, use whole wheat flour to bind the dough and add texture. Start with 50g of whole wheat flour to see if you like the consistency.
