About


These cookies are mostly made during the Id festival here in Singapore... Had taken the recipe from one of my friend.. and wanted to prepare since long time... Actually when I had it at her place I liked it a lot..So I asked her the name of the recipe.. She said its Sujee Cookies... Then I asked her the ingredients... to my surprise sujee cookies do not have sujee as a ingredient at all... I even asked her why do you call it sujee cookies then... she told me its the name to those cookies since her mother used to prepare... :) 
You can serve them immediately but if served one or two days later they taste much nicer as the sugar gets dissolved and blended in the cookies nicely.....
