Festive Cookies

In replying to Teckiee's question in my Deepavali greetings post if I was away making murukku... hahaha of course not lah! I got a tin of that from a friend of mine. Well instead of murukku, I made these...

colourful ghee biscuits


Wahseh... colourful or not? Before these babies were coated with milled sugar, the strong colour looked kinda scary! I made a trial batch of these earlier but I've used very very little colouring and my test bunnies told me they were too light. Hmmm and I thought they looked kinda nice in pastel shades, just that they don't show much after the sugar coating.

So are they festive enough for Deepavali???

Anyways, these babies are known as Arab Cookies or Ghee Biscuits or Sugee (even though no sugee were used??) Biscuits... recipe can be found HERE.

  1. Wah very psychedelic lah Babe. This is my fav. biscuit for raya and very easy to make.I used icing sugar for the coating instead. Always remember not to talk when you have this in your mouth.

  14. Hi My Addictions, all you need to do is colour the doughs separately then roll into long logs and lay them alongside to each other. pinch the mixed dough and roll into balls. u wont get spirals all the time though hahaha good luck and have fun.

  16. actually it's hard to say cos it depends on the humidity of the day and the dampness of the flour. if i remember clearly, that recipe you'll need at least a medium sized tinned ghee. remember to add tablespoon by tablespoon.
