    Hi Cheah, these cookies look good and can also help to use up my egg whites after baking KB. Bookmarked.

    Howdy Cheah ! I think I've been away too long. Too many to catch up as well. Extremely busy. Wish I can bake some homemade new year cookies too. Yours look really inviting. Honestly, I can easily finish off one jar. hehe.....
    Enjoy your day.
    Blessings, Kristy

    hello Cheah, just want to confirm that the pumpkin and sunflower seeds go in after you mix all the wet ingredients with the dry... there is no instruction on this in your "method". thanks

      Maybe you got the other type of paper which is not actually parchment paper. Try to get the parchment paper from the baking ingredients shop. Good parchment paper do not stick onto your cookies.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
