For this cookies i’m making 4 batches (125 x 4) therefore i’ve bought 2 grated coconuts which, each grated coconut weighs 250 gm.
At first i plan to bake green peas cookies, after i dry toast and taste this green peas flour which i bought from Bake with yen @ Chow Kit i changed my mind. Why? Because it’s not as tasty compare to peanuts. So i add grated coconut into it, taste better with coconut flavour, however due to these grated coconut it tends to harden (not that hard but just doesn’t crumbles as much as peanut cookies.). Well, the texture is something like Danish cookies.
As for the taste, hubby can’t differentiate the taste of this cookies, as i’ve balance green peas and grated coconut to same amount. Well, i like the coconut taste.
