Groundnut cookies.

All in all, can be categorised as a success. Groundnut cookies are easy to make. Just buy all the ready ingredients from the market, mix evenly and divide into little balls. Use cooking brush to gloss egg yolk over the top, then put in oven at 180 for 20 mins per tray. Can't go wrong.

However, my Grandmother and I had extremely conflicting ideas on how to apply egg yolk to the cookies. She thought (and still thinks) it was better to apply egg yolk all around the cookies. I thought it was better to just apply a little bit of yolk on top. She won that fight.

But just so I could get the last word in, I made three groundnut cookies a little 'differently'- one triangle shaped one, one square one and one that looked like the leaning tower of Pisa. Then when she was looking away, I put said three cookies on the tray and shoved tray into the oven. Needless to say, my Grandma was not happy.

Woohoo!
