Originally I showed 3 different ways to make these okara cookies in. They are three individual recipes in one page, so I was asked by COOKPAD staff to separate them so as not to confuse people. So, I did.

Refer to Step 4 if you need tips about drying the okara.
If you can't bring the mixture together as a dough, add 1 teaspoon and up to 1 tablespoon of milk or soy milk (not listed in the ingredients). Recipe by Nekozame

Steps

1

Spread the fresh okara on a plate and dry in a microwave. Its weight will be reduced from 100 g to about 30 g.
2

In a 500 w microwave, heat for 5 minutes at first. When you open the door, let the steam out and stir the okara. Microwave for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
3

In a 600 w microwave, heat for 3 minutes first. When you open the door, let the steam out, and stir the okara. Microwave for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
4

Do not cover with cling film. When the steam accumulates inside, open the door, and let it out. It's done when it's dry and crumbly.
5

Heat the butter in a microwave for about 40 seconds to melt (melt completely to mix easily with the other ingredients). Add the okara and pancake mix.
6

Wear a plastic bag as a glove and mix the mixture until combined. Grab the mixture, turn the back inside out, and you will have the mixture inside the bag. Massage through the bag.
7

Mix well until the butter is evenly distributed. If you can't bring the mixture together as a dough, add a little milk or soy milk (refer to the hints).
8

Preheat the oven to 180°C (baking time is 15 to 20 minutes).
9

Roll out the dough thinly over the plastic bag, using a rolling pin. Cut the dough into your favorite shapes with a knife over the bag (this way, you don't need to wash the knife later). Open the bag.
10

Place a piece of parchment paper over the prepared dough and set a baking tray on top. Flip it over and you can place the dough on the parchment and tray without fail.
11

Bake in and oven preheated to 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes. After baking, leave the cookies inside to obtain a crispier texture. You can snap off the cookies along the lines you scored with a knife.
12

Make them in bulk and freeze. You can eat them anytime you want. You don't need to defrost or reheat at all. You can enjoy chilled cookies.

This is a sister recipe. I used fresh okara for moist cookies.
