I have a confession to make. I love peanut and this is my favourite peanut butter cookies.
My wonderful mommy passed this recipe down to me. It's one of my favourite Chinese New Year cookies ever. I'm sure my sister mydatewithfood will agree too. It's a bit different from the usual peanut cookies we find in Malaysia or Singapore I think. In Indonesia we just use peanut butter, good old Kraft Skippy Chunky Peanut Butter. Hence the name Kue Kacang Skippy. I'm not sure if you only find this in Indonesia as most of the peanut cookies recipes I read from foodblog use roasted peanuts that are processed to powder form ( which is equally delicious too). Call us Indonesians lazy...ahhaha...but these cookies are oh so good and easy to make. Only 4 main ingredients needed. The moment you put them in your mouth, it just melts away. That's one of the difference with the peanut cookies using roasted peanuts, I find those to be a bit on the crispy crunchy side which is really yummy too, but this one is more on the "melt in your mouth" side. Give it a try and see if you like it. It definitely saves me the time roasting and grinding the peanuts.
I'm also submitting this recipe to Aspiring Bakers #3: My favourite CNY cookies hosted by Jess' Kitchen.
Kue Kacang Skippy - Skippy Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 500grams Chunky Peanut Butter
- 900 grams plain flour, sifted
- 400 grams vegetable oil
- 400 grams pure icing sugar, sifted
- Pinch of salt
Methods:
- Put all the ingredients ( oil, peanut butter, flour, icing sugar and salt) except egg yolk in a big bowl and mix well.
- Form the dough into small balls of 2-3cm diameter
- Glaze with beaten egg yolks and bake in 180 degrees celcius oven for 15-20 minutes until the tops are browned.
- Well, that's all you need to do really. SEEEEEE??? Told ya it's easy...=)
- The dough will be on a sticky side. So get a bowl of flour ready just next to you, and after rolling 3-4 cookies, dust your hands very lightly with just a pinch of flour. Justttt a pinch, like this. Repeat dusting every 3-4 cookies.

Hi JEss, hope you like it too. It's really easy to make. But don't be put off by the stickiness of the dough. It's meant to be like that, just dust your hands with a bit of flour and you'll be alright.
Hi Calvin, come over for CNY and you can have some...=)
hi leny, i've tried using the crunchy peanut butter before for my peanut cookies, they are simply fabulous, it saves all the roasting and grinding work for me, the ones that you baked looked really nice, i think muchmuch better than commercial ones!
