Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Stir brown sugar with oil, peanut butter and molasses until well combined. Whisk in eggs.
In a separate bowl, stir flour with baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Stir dry ingredients with wet mixture to create a stiff dough.
Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch (3 cm) balls. Roll balls in peanuts to coat. Arrange balls, 2-inches (5 cm) apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Use a fork to flatten the balls slightly.
Bake, in batches, for 8 to 10 minutes or cookies are golden on the bottom but still slightly soft in the middle.
Tips
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Tips: Cooking
The secret to extra crunchy fried chicken is to skip the standard whole egg wash and dip chicken pieces in egg whites that have been beaten until foamy instead.
