Suji Crystal Cookies as it is named does not contain any sooji/ rawa and I wonder why they were named so. A Malaysian delicacy made with melted ghee, flour, almond meal and raising agents colored and formed into marble effect cookies. They taste fabulous and simply melt in your month. Great for a kids party or any birthday celebration, these cookies are sure a hit with almost anyone.

Cooks Wisdom

- Make sure you roll the dough well do that the cookies are firm and hold shape.

- You can make your own almond meal by blending almonds in a mixer for 30 secs, do not blend more than that it will turn oily

- Cookies spread a little so leave space between cookies before baking them

- You can use your favorite colors for the dough

-Once they cool down store them in air-tight container to enjoy later

- Measure ghee after melting and also measure icing sugar after powdering.
