Peanut Cookies

This is very healthy and yummy cookie which I had tried the other day and it turned out very well .......
I wanted to try out this cookie using roasted peanuts from a long time , I tried it and loved the soft. texture inside and hard and crunchy outside,
So here goes the recipe for that......
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup roasted skinless peanuts
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter soften at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulate sugar
  • 2 tablespoon milk
Method: 
  1.  Preheat the oven 180 'c.
  2.  Take a mixing bowl mix flour, baking soda and crushed peanut.
  3.  In another bowl beat butter and sugar, beat until light color.(about 4 to 5 minutes).
  4.  Now add flour mixture and beat again.
  5.  Mix well this mixture, add in little by little milk till u get a smooth dough.
  6.  Divide the dough in small 15 to 18 equal parts and place then in a greased tray.
  7.  Bake it in a preheated oven of   200º C  for about 18 to 20 minutes.
  8.  Keep checking and bake it only till crisp at the edges are brown.
  9.  Then take out of the oven and allow to cool. 
  10.  Cool cookies on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  11.  Store in an air-tight container.
Note: drop portions of cookie dough onto the tray leaving ample space between the cookies.
