Pindakoekjes
Dutch people love peanuts, it's everywhere: peanut butter (translated literally from Dutch it's actually peanut cheese), peanut sauce, peanut cookies.
So I decided to try to make the peanut cookies myself as they are one of my boyfriend's favorites. (I'm actually German, but I live in the Netherlands. When I bake, I'll use my German recipes.)
Ingredients
What do you do with leftover melted chocolate and peanuts? Pindarotsjes (peanut rocks)!
Eet smakelijk!
As I know my boyfriend, the cookies won't survive Sunday. He's very un-Dutch when it comes to cookies. He won't just have one with his tea.
