Chinese Peanut Cookies
These Chinese Peanut Cookies are a simple, savory-sweet cookie to bake for the Chinese Lunar New Year or any time for desserts or snacks. They have a coarse, shortbread-like consistency. They crumble at the first bite, but the peanut-like aroma and flavors make it hard to put down. Serve it with a pot of tea. This is an Asian In America recipe and makes about 24 bite-sized pieces.
