I'm looking for the recipe for another type of peanut cookie. The round ones you find being sold in little tubs. I don't think it's baked. It's more like powdered peanuts and sugar compacted in a mould. The closest recipe I have come across would be the Malay traditional putu kacang. I wonder if you would have the recipe for this type of CNY peanut cookie?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-75563170378208086972009-01-23T15:53:00.000-07:002009-01-23T15:53:00.000-07:00anonymousyes, you are right 2 tsp baking powder co...anonymous<BR/><BR/>yes, you are right 2 tsp baking powder cos you need 2 cups all purpose flour. <BR/><BR/>i hope k.a. reads tjos comment. i forgot to add that : to 1 cup of all purpose flour add 1 tsp baking powder to replace 1 cup of self ising flour.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784670399648449327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-60886337235110962372009-01-23T15:13:00.000-07:002009-01-23T15:13:00.000-07:00Aunt Lily:You mentioned below,k.a.of course, just ...Aunt Lily:<BR/><BR/>You mentioned below,<BR/><BR/>k.a.<BR/><BR/>of course, just replace with all-purpose flour or cake flour with 1 tsp baking powder.<BR/><BR/>That means add 1 tsp baking power in addition to the recipe, total is 2 tsp??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-235389026405272702009-01-18T20:43:00.000-07:002009-01-18T20:43:00.000-07:00anonymousi think i have about 100 cookies. the co...anonymous<BR/><BR/>i think i have about 100 cookies. the cookie size is 3/4 - 1 inch after baking. make the balls a little bigger than 1/2 inch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784670399648449327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-64352899061596709622009-01-18T13:30:00.000-07:002009-01-18T13:30:00.000-07:00Hi Lily, approx. how much cookies will this recipe...Hi Lily, approx. how much cookies will this recipe make?
