Sugee Cookie

It's saturday! Here i am at home, so early for a saturday night, blogging and baking sugee cookies in the oven. But it feels kinda failure today cause i could not get the knead out the dough today.

Baked sugee cookies on monday when I was in leave on tuesday! baked 2 types of recipe! baked till 5am! madness!

Purpose of baking so hard? Preparing CNY goodies for my relatives! something warm and personal.

Y sugee? because dad mentioned that he really misses the sugee cookie he used to get frm the coffee shop's cookie bottle. Me trying to recreate the feeling for him.


Sugee recipes are confusing! Sugee means it should contain semolina flour right?But most of the recipes I found does not use semolina. They used Ghee instead. Those with semolina, does not use ghee. So confusing... I always thot both was used.

Mmmm..... cookies aroma filling up my room.... *Heavenly*

Jus wanna share the recipes, and photos i took that night...

The end product!

The cookies here were too brown to be called sugee. Mum reckon i cooked too long. Also, it is those crispy kind of cookies. Not soft and melt in your mouth kind. But it was pretty good! I thot pple will find it too hard so I decided NOT to give it as gifts and try the other recipe. However, i gave some of this recipe to BC and PGY and they kinda like it and din think it was hard at all! how comforting! :)

Second recipe I got it from the Ghee's website... keke! I am sure the ghee company will gif some very good recipe to promote their ghee. N I wasnt wrong!
