Peanut Butter Cookies 花生酥饼 CNY 2015

This peanut cookie recipe had been shared on the Facebook baking group and its easy method of preparation caught my attention. Peanut butter is being used in this recipe instead of peanut powder which has to be made from scratch.  I love this peanut cookie as it's not too sweet but fragrant and  melt-in-your mouth. Definitely going to bake more for coming Chinese New Year.
