CNY: Green pea cookies (using coated green peas)

This year's green pea cookies are a bit of a disappointment to me. I couldn't find the green peas that I used last year, so I had to settle for these coated ones (which were more expensive and less in nett weight). Sigh. Look at them. Just look at them! They look so hideous..


So this year, there aren't as many cookies. And I didn't add a green pea to the tops of each cookie like last year purely because I would uglify the cookies. :(
