Kue satu (in West Java and Jakarta) or kue koya (in Central and East Java) is a popular traditional kue kering (dry traditional cookie) made of sweet white-colored mung bean powder that crumbles when bitten. It is commonly found as a traditional cookie in Indonesia, especially in Java. In Indonesia, this cookie is often served during festive occasions, such as Lebaran (Eid al Fitr), Natal (Christmas), and Imlek (Chinese new year). It is believed that the cookies were derived from Chinese Peranakan traditional cookies or dry kue.
