Green Pea Cookies
Ingredients
| 200 grams | Green pea (preferably without coating) or green pea powder |
| 150 grams | Plain flour |
| 150 grams | Peanut oil or other cooking oil |
| 130 grams | Icing sugar |
| 50 grams | Corn starch or potatoes starch |
| 1 | Egg yolk for egg washing |
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 170 degree Celsius.
- In a food processor, blend the green peas until as fine as you can. Sift the blended green peas powder to a bowl of icing sugar, corn starch and plain flour.
- Transfer the flour mixture back to the food processor, add the cooking oil or peanut oil gradually, blend until it forms a pliable dough. Transfer out to a lightly floured surface. Roll out flat and use some cutters to cut into smaller pieces. Gather the sides and perform the same until all the dough are divided.
- Take a portion, shape round and slightly press down using your finger. Egg wash the cookies using beaten egg yolk. Use some utensils (chopstick, satay stick etc.) to create your desired pattern. Bake in the pre-heated oven of 170 degree Celsius for about 15-20 minutes or until your desired colour tone.
- Your cookies will be rather fragile when hot. Let it rest in the baking tray for 5-10 minutes before transfer to a rack for complete cooling. Once completely cooled, store in an air tight of container.
Note: Colour of the cookies will depend on the green peas you used. Some are very green whereas some are lighter. If prefer, you can buy the ready processed green pea powder in the bakery shop.
