Kue putri salju

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Kue putri salju, Indonesian for snow princess cookie, is a crescent shaped dried cookie from Indonesia covered in powdered sugar. The dough is a fine mixture of flour, cornstarch, butter or margarine and egg yolks, baked in the oven and left to cool slowly before the powdered sugar is sprinkled on or shaken onto the cookies in a bag. The sugar coating resembles snow and sometimes gives a cooling sensation when eaten. The cookies are a typical delicacy for festive occasions and major holidays, including Lebaran, Christmas and Chinese New Year, and are sold in airtight jars in traditional markets, bakeries and supermarkets. Cheese, chocolate and pandan variants are also made, the pandan version often tinted green.
