Ghee balls (cookies) ~ CNY 2011

Ghee balls

This is a type of CNY cookies that I wanted to try long time ago. Since I was in the rush to make 2011 CNY cookie on the last minutes, this cookie is the best choice since it needs very simple ingredients and easy to make too.

















I was adapted the recipe from Jane's corner..Thanks to Jane!
