Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grind the roasted peanuts until finely ground (sandy texture).
In a mixing bowl, combine ground peanuts, eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, apricot jam, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended.
Add cocoa powder and baking powder. Mix until evenly combined and chocolatey.
Stir in the desiccated coconut until evenly distributed and the dough thickens.
Cover and chill the dough for about 30 minutes, or until easy to roll.
Roll into balls, coat generously in powdered sugar (as needed), and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 10–12 minutes, until crackled on top and set at the edges. Cool on the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
