I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! After 5 minutes in the oven, on 170 C °,the cookies were burned on the bottom. I took them out quickly and they fell into pieces! I had to throw them away ...what a pity! What did i do wrong?

2 things I can think of:

1- the temperature of your oven is not aligned with what you read, and this is a common problems with ovens. You may set the oven to temperature 170 C but it's really 190 C, for example, or vice versa. So you may want to lower the temperature of the oven.

2- you put the baking sheet in the lower rack of the oven. You want to put it in the middle of the oven, not close to the bottom, otherwise it would burn.

3- you have to let the cookies cool down before moving them (very gently). if you touch them when they are hot, they will crumble. the texture of these cookies is very 'buttery' - they basically crumble and melt in your mouth. it's so good, but they have to be handled very carefully.

hope this helps!

Two things: 1) Can we get a text recipe which includes flour if we don't mind gluten?

2) When I attempted this, my "dough" became incredibly wet and sloppy. Could this have been a failure to process the nuts fine enough, or was simply scaling all the ingredients in half a bad idea?

@AARONMACKENZIE

Add flour that has been baked on the oven until it became golden brown to the recipe. The amount of flour = amount of peanuts. The rest of the recipe is the same. you can find all my recipes in my website cookingwithalia(dot)com

for question 2 - yes, I think what happened is that the texture of the ground peanuts was not fine enough, so it did not 'drink' the liquid. You have to grind the peanuts into a 'flour' texture. Also, add the oil little by little. this would help.

Can I use canola oil instead of vegetable oil ?

looks yum..thanks for sharing.

reminds me of a Bakewell tarte type mixture on occasions I attempt to make

[ almond 'batter' in vegan/gluten free pastry]

so much lighter without the gluten - delicate and perhaps too delicious...

@cookingwithalia

Thanks for the advice! I definetly have an oven problem...

Still, I might give it another try because I love peanuts..

[albstralian]

lol i thought i failed this one miserably! i ground the peanuts in a food processor and a lot of them were left big and chunky... but i wsa like well, most of it is a fine flower- so i will just continue and my cookies will have chunks of peanuts in them! that could be cool........... problem is when u are making them into little balls- they're nearly impossible to keep together! argh!!! but yeah in the end they have turned out pretty well!! they are just cooling now, cant wait to taste them :D!
