BISKUT MAKMUR

BISKUT MAKMUR Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


Another popular cookies baked during Eid or Chinese New Year. Made of wheat flour, ghee (clarified butter), stuff with roasted ground peanut and sugar then mold into leaf shape biscuit using the pincer. You can also shape them into small ball and stuff  the filling.

 A drop of green coloring is added to the dough if not you can let as it is. If you find the dough is too soft you can add some flour. After baking you have to coat them with icing sugar. These Biskut  Makmur are very fragile to handle and really melt into you mouth.

These sound amazing! And they look beautiful. A lot of people in my area celebrate Eid - I wonder if I can find it in a bakery. I am a terrible baker!
