CNY cookies Part IV - Green bean cookies

Have always wondered what this green looking cookie taste like. Decided to grab a packet upon seeing the green bean flour at the supermarket.

Made giant green pea balls.

Very 'green' dough - would it taste like broccoli? maybe brussel sprouts or spinach?? haha


Used chopstick to make the indentation, looks like fat buttons.

Unfortunately the tops crack after they are baked. M prefers it without the egg glaze but it is very fragile. Easier to pack those with egg glaze otherwise have to keep popping into my mouth the crushed ones!!

They taste exactly like the green bean peanuts (aka kacang hijau) - very nice as it literally melts in the mouth, so light it might crumble in your hands before it reaches your mouth!!



UPDATED with recipe (adapted from Elinluv)

Ingredients:

278g fried green pea powder
180g icing sugar
1/4 tsp salt
340g All Purpose Flour
200g corn oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

Glaze - 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk, beaten with a fork and sieved

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 160C.

2. Mix all ingredients into a bowl until you get a soft dough.

3. Roll dough into small balls or push dough into moulds or roll out dough and cut out with cookie cutter. Arrange on greased cookie tray.

4. Glaze tops before baking for about 15 min or until tops are golden brown.

5. Cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.
