These crunchy, melt-in-mouth green pea cookies, mainly prepared with spelt flour, ground green peas, peanut oil, and icing sugar, are commonly baked for the Spring Festival celebration, but they are an outright winner any time of year.

Green Peas Spelt Cookies

adapted from No-Frills Recipes
  • 330 g Spelt pastry flour
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 260 g Shelled green peas, finely ground
  • 150 g Powdered sugar
  • 200 ml Peanut or corn oil
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp Water
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
  1. Sift the spelt pastry flour, salt, baking powder, finely ground shelled green peas, and powdered sugar into a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Slowly pour in oil and mix until the mixture forms a soft and pliable dough. Cover with a plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Stir the egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Brush the top of each cookie with egg glaze and sprinkle some sesame seeds over. Bake for 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Angie's Recipes 27/2/12 18:33

@edithSpelt is a cereal grain in the wheat family, but easier to digest, higher in protein, and lower calorie. In Germany you can find spelt bread flour (#1050), spelt pastry flour (#630) and wholegrain spelt flour.
