With Chinese New Year around the corner, we baked some cookies to get into the festive mood. One of them had to be my favourite cookie which I always eat at my cousin's house during Hari Raya.
This is the 1st time I baked them myself, and both kids love it, as much as I did. :) I'm posting it here for my future reference, just in case it goes missing in my pile of recipe books. ;pBiskut Sarang Semut
Ingredients:
- 6 oz butter
- 4 oz powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz all-purpose flour
- 4 oz custard powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- chocolate rice
- baking paper cups
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven at 355 deg F / 180 deg C.
2. Sieve all-purpose flour, custard powder and baking powder into a bowl. Stir and set aside.
3. Beat butter and sugar well, till light and fluffy. Then add in the vanilla extract.
4. A bit at a time, add in the flour mixture from step 2, stirring it at the same time till all is well mixed. (I'm lazy so I just used a hand mixer.)
5. Now that the dough is ready, using hands, roll it into balls and grate them.
6. Scoop into the baking paper cups and sprinkle chocolate rice on top.
7. Bake for 10 minutes.
