Looking for a melt-in-the mouth green peas cookies? Here's is it.
Love the tinge of saltiness in this cookies. Was one of my favourite few years back, finally this year I decided to make my own.
Green Pea Cookies Adapted from Debbie Teoh (Flavours magazine Jan-Feb 2009) Yields 75 pieces
Ingredients :
160ml peanut oil (I added 15ml more as it was too dry; I had to used corn oil unfortunately) 1/4 teaspoon fine salt 110g icing sugar, sifted 250g plain flour, sifted 250g fried green peas, shelled and finely ground (I used ready-ground green peas from baking shop) 1 egg yolk, beaten lightly, for egg wash (optional)
Steps by Steps: 1. Combine oil, salt and icing sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low speed to dissolve the salt.
2. Add flour and ground green peas in batches. Mix lightly with paddle attachment to form a soft, pliable dough. (Half way through, the dough is too dry for the mixer, so I resorted to a hand paddle and later my hand)
3. Preheat oven to 180oC.
4. Shape dough into little ball about the size of marbles. Place on baking pans and brush with egg wash (optional).
5. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
Probably my size of 7gm each (about 20cents coin), I can yield 100pcs from this recipe. Roll into ball shape, and slightly press to flaten abit.
I skipped the egg wash as I prefer a plain look.
After baking, the cookies were all smiling at me. It all cracked. I suppose, green peas cookies were like peanut cookies, having natural cracked lines.
Be super careful when you hold & handle the cookies. Mine were so soft & it is so easily break. That's why melt-in-the-mouth. Taste good, not too sweet.
