These cookies are as light as a feather!  This is another quick recipe, and produce as much as 60 small cookies. Sugar content is very low compared to the amount of cookies you make from this recipe, so much that you can enjoy them with melted chocolate or soft Cheese

2 cups Self Raising Flour
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
1 1/2 cup Ground Peanuts
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp Peanut Butter
75g Butter Melted
1 cup milk
2 eggs

1/2 cup Crushed Peanuts for topping

Pre heat oven to 200c.  Line two baking sheets with baking paper and set aside. Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda in a  mixing bowl.  Add ground peanuts and sugar and mix well.  In another  bowl, add melted butter and peanut butter and heat a microwave for 20 seconds on high to melt the peanut butter.  Whisk together, then add milk, and eggs and whisk well.  Add mixture to dry ingredients and mix using a metal spoon till mixture is just combined.  Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with 1 cm plain nozzle,  and pipe mixture on lined baking trays into small cookies. Leave enough space from one another to spread. Sprinkle remaining crushed peanuts on top.  Bake in heated oven for 20 minutes or until well golden.  Turn to wire rack to cool.  Cookies can be frozen when cooked and completely cooled.
