I’m rolling with my Chinese new year cookies this year, aren’t I ? 🙂 But I just really have to share these snow white cookies or we call them kue putri salju in Indonesia. We always have these around the house and I made them with my aunts too, so that’s why I just have to make them to bring me back to that childhood memories 🙂

I won’t bore you with another Chinese new year story, I’m sure you’ve read enough from my previous post or on the internet 🙂 At the time I’m typing this recipe up to share with you all, the cookies had vanished into thin air !!! I wasn’t the one who ate them all…. My kids love these !

Chinese new year kue putri salju (snow white cookies)

Author Marvellina

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened
½ cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1¾ cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners sugar for coating
1 cup finely chopped peanuts

Instructions

Cream butter and sugar at low speed. Beat in Vanilla and gradually add in flour and chopped peanuts. Continue to mix until you get a nice non-sticky dough
Clean your hands and dust some flour on them and get ready to shape the dough into about 2-inch balls and then flatten it with your palms and shape it into a crescent shape
Preheat your oven to 375F and lay a parchment paper on your baking sheets. Once oven is preheated, bake for 25-30 minutes or until they turn slightly brown. Let them rest for about 5 minutes and then dip them into the sugar while they are still lightly warm and then let them cool down completely before storing in air-tight container
