In mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, oil, molasses and egg; beat with electric mixer on medium-high to high speed until well blended. Beat (on low speed) or stir in flour mixture. Stir in peanuts.
With lightly oiled hands, form dough into 30 (about 1 ¼-inch) balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on 2 lightly oiled baking sheets.
