I supposed a lot of Chinese bloggers are busy baking with cookies now for CNY which another few days to go. I also baking my last few batches of cookies now. I bake these cookies for my friend to bring back home to Kuching. My friend like this cookie a lot, i noticed he ate a lot of this cookie when he came to my house last time..
This is an ordinary ghee ball recipe which is simply melt-in-mouth. This time i just want it to look more nicer than ordinary ball shape, so i just cut it into flower shape..

I like this ghee cookies very much too....the one that I made earlier, the ingredients more or less similar. This ghee cookies is yummy as this is my first time tasted it.
I'm bookmarking this as it looks so easy! I haven't had ghee biscuits for some time but these look like they melt in your mouth!
Lovely flower cookies. Like the melt-in-mouth texture cookies.
Ghee has a strong smell but I guess when mixed with the other ingredients and baked it would be nice. I have some ghee and if I have time, I will try it!
