CNY 2017 - MEAT FLOSS/SEAWEED GERMAN COOKIES

Another meat floss recipe which I have bookmarked to bake and finally got down to bake them.  This recipe is from Cheryl of Baking Taitai.

These cookies are crispy and fragrant.  Love the savoury and sweet taste, quite different for the usual sweet cookies.  I have replaced the Korean seaweed with Japanese seaweed for this recipe.

Recipe adapted from Baking Taitai with modification
