Green Pea Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 170 C or 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. 2
   Pour the ground peas, flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix well. Stir in oil until mixture resembles wet sand. Feel free to add a few more drops of oil if the mixture seems too dry.
3. 3
   Press 1 teaspoon sized portions of the dough into a ball using your fingers and palms. Make sure to press tightly to create a compact cookie or else they will fall apart during baking. Arrange on prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least an inch apart.
4. 4
   Brush each cookie with the egg yolk and top with a pinch of poppy seeds.
5. 5
   Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and cookies are firm. Remove pan from oven and set on a rack to cool for a minute. Then remove them from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in airtight container. Goes well with a cup of black tea.
