As a continuation of celebrating my dear Priya Aks B'day I made these colorful Suji Crystal cookies today. They turned out absolutely yum, to keep in mind the theme of doing recipes of different colors I went ahead with this recipe. Aks I hope your day if filled with loads of surprises to keep you happy. And as excited as you are we all your friends are so so excited to share you all our virtual treats today. I hope they are pure feast for your eyes and that you virtually enjoy all the goodies we gobbled up saying your name :P.
Happy Birthday once again to one lovely Priya Aks.
May your birthday and the days to come be as colorful as you are :-)
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.
