New Year Chinese cookies with green peas

This is probably one of the most popular Chinese recipes for Christmas cookies. To be honest, I’ve never tasted such a combination before. Prepare these delicate, aromatic and delicious Chinese cookies in captivating green.

Ingredients:

• 400 g frozen green peas
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• the original recipe is prepared with corn oil, but in this recipe I replaced it with 125 g of quality cow butter
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1½ cup of flour
• 1 yolk for spreading the cookies

Preparation:

In a saucepan, melt the butter, pour in the peas and cook for 5 minutes, add the salt and sugar and cook for another 5 minutes.

Blend in a blender until a smooth consistency and rub through a fine sieve. Add the flour and knead a smooth dough. Do not over-knead.

Shape arms of equal size balls, make a hole in the middle and brush with egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for 15 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool completely before storing them in a tightly closed container.
