Divide the thoroughly cooled roasted mung beans into two batches, put them into a dry grinder blender, and blend into dry powder. Sift through a fine mesh sieve, do not sift coarse particles, put coarse particles and remaining mung beans back into the blender to repeatedly grind and sift until all is passed through into fine mung bean flour (yielding 176g mung bean flour).

Slowly add 47g vegetable oil, mix first with a spatula, then rub and loosen with hands until there are no lumps, presenting a sand-like texture that forms a dry dough when pinched and loosens when pressed. Next, gradually add 18g water while mixing, rub with hands again to make it a slightly moist sand consistency that easily forms a dough when pinched and loosens when pressed.

Watch out

Water must be added gradually in small amounts

adding too much water will make the dough chewy and not loose when pressed

Take a 50g flower mooncake mold. Use a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop the loose mung bean mixture flat into the mold, press slightly firm, place a few almond pieces in the center, add another 1 tablespoon of mung bean mixture, and press slightly firm. Press firmly on the baking tray to imprint the pattern, release from the mold, and repeat to make 17 almond cookies.
