The making of Green Pea Cookies is similar to Traditional Chinese Peanut Cookies. The proportion of green pea powder (usually available at bakery supplies shop) is relatively high in this recipe, thus it yields delicious Green Pea Cookies that will melt in your mouth. If you are allergic to peanut, this cookie is a great substitute to peanut cookie.
It is important to press cookie dough until firm before shaping gently into a ball so that the cookies won’t break easily when holding. The amount of oil needed will depend on the water absorption capacity of the flour you use. Thus, you may adjust the quantity of oil added according to the dampness of your cookie dough.
