Green Pea Cookie Recipe

Green Pea Cookies (25 December 2018)


Green Pea Cookie is one of the popular cookies for Chinese New Year. It is very easy to make and is particularly delicious.

To make Green Pea Cookie, buy about 1kg of grounded green pea from the baking supply shop. Most shops sell two types of grounded green pea - the coarse and the fine. Choose the fine variety. Add an equal of slightly less amount of flour to it. Following that, add sugar, the amount of which depends on how sweet you want the mixture to be. You may want to sample your mixture (it is edible as it is) to determine whether you are satisfied with the sweetness, and adjust accordingly.

All 1 bar (250g) of salted butter to the grounded green pea, mix thoroughly, then add some peanut cooking oil. The amount of peanut cooking oil is based on your desired consistency - just apply enough in order that the mixture binds together, so that you can form them into balls.

Form the green pea mix into balls. It is up to you whether you wish to weigh your mixture for consistency. We don't do that, so our homemade Green Pea Cookies are not of precise size. To us, that is not important, but if you desire that every cookie be of exactly same size and weight, then get a weighing scale to measure the weight of each ball.

Press down on the ball, use anything that can imprint the balls with a circular pattern. Brush the cookies with egg yolk. Bake your cookies until until they brown. Each person's oven is different, so you need to watch your cookie in your own oven. By our own oven, we need 19 (nineteen) minutes to bake our cookies.

Taking them out of the oven, the cookies are ready to be eaten. [an error occurred while processing this directive]

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
