    By now, you should know that I am not a very good baker, even though I actually enjoy baking. There is a challenging baking recipe in my upcoming cookbook and I couldn’t get a consistent result and Pick Yin, a fellow Malaysian, came to my rescue and that’s how I discovered Life is Great, a blog about all the good…

    Dear readers,

    I upgraded to the new Blogger Beta and accidentally deleted my old file of this Cookies post and lost a couple of comments from you. I am very sad. :(

    Plus now my “Previous Posts” are messed up as they no longer change dynamically and all my older posts do not show up anymore. And that’s not all, my “Archives” also go to 404 Page Not Found.

    I have sent an email to Blogger but the chance of they answering my email is very slim so I am helpless. If you are a whiz kid and use Blogger as your publishing tool, please let me know if you can help.

    My email is bee@foreverbee.com.

    Thanks,
    Rasa Malaysia

    If you know, please help.

    Cookies harden as the fat used in baking them cools. To soften them up again, place on a dry paper towel and microwave for a few seconds. You can also pop them on a piece of foil and toast them for up to a minute in a toaster oven. The softness and just-out-of-the-oven flavor will come right back.

    Try not to heat them for too long. You just want to raise their temperature a little, not cook them further.

    A teaspoon of almond extract would be better in these cookies. I have used a recipe from the ‘Better Homes and Gardens” “Oriental Cookbook” I got rave reviews from friends and family for them. Also;put a dab of white corn syrup on the cookie and then an almond before baking. The syrup keeps the almond from falling off.
