Peanut Cookies and a Special Fortune Cookie

My boys and I made these traditional Chinese New Year Peanut Cookies on the Chinese New Year, but I've been so busy that I am just now posting about them. We have made them a couple times since the New Year because of their melt-in-your-mouth quality. I found this recipe at A Table For Two. The only thing that I did differently was the addition of demerara sugar sprinkled on the cookie after I coated it with egg white. Warning...these go down too smoothly and having one too many is a distinct possibility.




I received this adorable fortune cookie in the mail. It was a gift sent to me by Michelle, at Cicada Studio. As you might already know, she has been my friend for 35 years (wow!). She has always been so supportive of me and lately, she knows I need it more than ever. I am so grateful to have her in my life. This cookie is porcelain and does not open to show an actual fortune, but I don't need one. I already know what it would say: "You have been blessed with a dear friend."
