CNY Green Pea Cookies


Eating these cookies are simply yummy compare to just the original green peas. This time, I bought ready pack grinded green peas from Sun Lik, so much easier compare to the first time I made this, which I grinded it myself.

By using the same recipe, they still have similarity in taste. However, the ready grinded package, yield more oily dough that made the cookies more weak in structure, crumbly and melt in the mouth texture.

The next batch I’m gonna make, I will increase the proportion of the flour.

Recipe adapted from "New Year Cookies" by Alan Ooi
Ingredients:
130 gr fried green peas, grinded
150 gr plain flour
130 gr icing sugar (I reduced to 90 gr)
1/4 tsp salt
100 gr oil

Method:
- Preheat oven to 170C
- Place all the ingredients, except oil into a mixing bowl, mix well.
- Add oil and combine to form dough.
- Roll dough into thin sheets and cut out cookies.
- Bake for about 15 - 20 mins or till cooked.
- Cool completely before storing

I am submitting these cookies to Aspiring Bakers #3: My Favourite CNY Cookie (Jan 2011), hosted by J3ss Kitch3n.

  6. I've yet to try green pea cookies. They look very tempting to me. I guess the store-bought peas were deep-fried before grinding, that's why the dough is oilier.

  7. The grinded green peas make the cookies look much greener and I like it better this way. Unfortunately I don't have time to visit Sun Lik these few days :( Anyway, your cookies look great!

  20. You’re right, Blessed Homemaker. But I don’t know why the structure of the cookies are weaker than the first time I tried with own grinded. Maybe it because I take out the skin, while the grinded packet inclusive the skin.

    NEL, It has interesting flavour in the cookies too :)

    MaryMoh, thanks and this is suitable for vegetarian too :)

    The Sweetylicious, try it out, hope you like it as much as I do.

    Yummy Koh, hahahaha … you are lucky to have bazaar in your office .. so can try try … I also want!

    Jess, Thank you.

    Happy Flour, True, I just agree with you, these cookies are quite addicted. I’m so sorry to hear about your news. Take care.

    Neyeeloh,
    It’s not the same green peas to green bean. The colour of the green peas flour is also green, or you may optional to buy the green peas (ready packet available at any supermarket) and grinded yourself. I tried it last year.
