Double Peanut Cookies
Double peanut cookies are a crunchy snack made with roasted peanuts, butter and two sugars, blended and baked into golden rounds. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the peanuts evenly, creams the butter with the sugars and brings the dough together in one bowl, giving consistent cookies with a rich peanut flavour every single time.
About this recipe
Double peanut cookies with the Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate homemade biscuit for anyone who loves an intense, roasted peanut flavour. Searching for an easy cookie recipe with your all-in-one kitchen machine? This snack delivers twice the peanut punch: the roasted peanuts are ground fresh in the mixing bowl and folded back into the dough, so every bite carries a deep, nutty aroma you simply cannot get from shop-bought cookies. The TM7 takes care of the heavy lifting, grinding the peanuts evenly, creaming the soft butter with granulated and light sugar until pale and fluffy, and bringing the dough together in minutes. A touch of vanilla, bicarbonate of soda and sea salt balances the sweetness and enhances the roasted notes. These cookies are perfect for an afternoon treat, a lunchbox filler or a homemade gift, and because everything happens in one bowl, the washing up stays minimal.
Preparation tips
- Grind only part of the roasted peanuts finely and keep the rest coarser, so the cookies get both a strong peanut flavour and a pleasant crunch in every bite of the dough.
- Use the butter straight from the fridge cut into cubes and let the friction of the blades soften it, or leave it at room temperature briefly; properly softened butter creams better with the two sugars.
- Chill the rolled dough balls in the fridge before baking so the cookies keep a lovely soft centre with crisp edges, and store the baked cookies in an airtight tin to preserve their crunch.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free version: replace the plain flour with a gluten-free baking blend and add a spoonful of ground peanuts extra to compensate, keeping the same double peanut flavour and chewy texture.
- Chocolate variation: stir dark chocolate chunks through the finished dough or dip the cooled cookies halfway in melted chocolate, then sprinkle with a little sea salt for a sweet-salty festive treat.
