This recipe was given to me by a special friend, a 'spritely' 70 plus old woman of Persian descent, having a beautiful name of Sharifah. The cookies she made were the best I ever tasted, and every Hari Raya I would look forward to her open house. Unfortunately she left this world in 2008 and since then , I would miss her alot especailly on Hari Raya .
The method is the same as for making all cookies, generally. Therefore, I shall just share the ingredients and a brief note on what to do, just as what she had written on a small piece of paper she tore from a thick book where she had recorded in her own handwriting all the recipes she had collected, tested and improved over the years.
Ingredients:
1 bar of butter
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sago flour
1 teasp baking powder
2 heaped tablespoon custard powder
3 cups castor sugar(to be made a bit finer) by pounding with a pestle or grinding
1 egg
Slightly beat butter and sugar. Add scrambled egg, then add flour.
These were the instructions written by her. She said the ingredients are important to achieve the goodness of her cookies. Happy trying!
