Almond Cookies - Malaysian Style

It all started when my sister Jenny baked these lovely cookies months ago.

Since then, these cookies are baked twice a week.

I didn't really get my hands on these cookies since Jenny bakes batches of cookies.

Then there was a week & there was no cookies left.

My mum started to complain & murmured that there was no cookies left.

She is cheesecake lover, also a cookies lover.

To keep her happy, I called my sister for the recipe & finally baked some.

So you can tell how irresistible these cookies are.

In this recipe, salt is a must, it adds contrast to the sweetness & bring out the after taste.

It's so simple yet yummy.

If you're almond cookies lover, you must try this.

Mix all ingredients except vegetable oil in a large bowl.

Pour half of the vegetable oil into the bowl & mix well.
