Coconut Peanut Crisp Cookies
A rustic Vietnamese cookie built from toasted peanuts, desiccated coconut and a lightly sweetened egg-butter batter, baked until the edges crackle and turn deep gold. The crumb is dense and short, the bite crisp at the rim and faintly chewy at the centre, carrying the toasted nuttiness of banh quy dua dau phong sold from roadside tins and bakery counters across the south.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a small baking sheet with parchment.
2
In a bowl, melt the butter and whisk in the sugar until it dissolves slightly, then beat in the egg and coconut milk.
3
Fold in the flour, desiccated coconut, chopped peanuts, baking powder and salt until a thick, sticky dough forms.
4
Divide the dough into 2 portions and press each into a flat round about 7cm wide and 1cm thick directly onto the lined sheet, leaving space between them.
5
Bake for 14-16 minutes until the edges turn deep golden brown and the centres are just set.
6
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer carefully to a wire rack to firm up and crisp fully before serving.
