Sounds so good! I want to try it :)
I have bookmarked to try! Looks good!
Jane, this does sound delicious! I will bookmark this though I am not very sure if I would have the time to try this out before CNY....:(
OMG! You got me at the title! Sounds so tempting lah. I hope I can squeeze out some time to try it before next weekend :)
Do try it if you have the time. You'll like it!
Yes, it is both a buttery cookie, and a bak kwa!
Shirley, you don't have to do it at this period. Bak kwa is expensive. Try it after CNY when bak kwa is more affordable...
Yes, it is really tempting Meg! It'll be a favourite of the old and young alike!
What an interesting cookies you have. No time to try this out. :(
Nevermind Chris. Try it after CNY if you still have leftover bak kwa. :)
i love to try that.
These cookies mut be very yummy. Sweet and savoury ...
Wow, never thought Bak Kwa can be made into cookie, very new recipe to me..this cookie must be very flavourful as Bak Kwa is added. Wishing you a Happy Lunar New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai.
Ok, I bookmark this! Wishing you a happy Dragon Year! :)
I'm personally not big on bak kwa but these sound really creative and intriguing!
Gong xi fa cai, Jane!
Do these keep well? I plan to bake them for a friend going to India.
Hi Karen,
I supposed they will if it's in air-tight container. Didn't have the chance to keep too long as it was consumed quickly.
Hi, can i use an electric beater to cream and mix the ingredients? and do you line the baking tray with baking paper or oil the tray before baking?
Sorry! keen to try but an amateur baker :)
Hi nuttybee,
Yes, do use a electric beater to do the creaming. Very tiring to do it by hands unless you're chef trained. ;) I don't lined the baking tray as the butter from the cookies will prevent it from sticking to the tray. You can brush it with butter if you want to feel safe. Have a try!
