very crunchy and tasty. added whole almonds on top of the cookies...turned out really good. next time i'll reduce the sugar, a bit too sweet for me, but still fine. however, aren't sugee cookies meant to be soft? -

Thanks for clicking on my name and finding out more about myself. I stumbled upon 'zaar by chance, and I have been hooked ever since. It is just so much easier surfing online for a recipe then flipping through a zillion cookbooks. I am a big fan of healthy meal, and i love to use heaps of garlic in my food. Guess it is the asian blood in me. :) And I am a real sweet tooth, and I'm constantly on a lookout for cake and biscuit recipes.
Have a look at the recipes i have posted, and tell me what you think. Thanks!
