All said nice - this Melt in mouth salted egg cookies. A friend, who does not fancy eating cookies, keeps saying these are nice cookies. Reminded me to give him some if I do bake this again. He said these cookies are not too sweet or salty but crispy, light and aromatic. To him is, very addictive cookies.
He did not that these are salted egg cookies.

Hi Kimmy! It's good that you post all your CNY cookies one by one like this as it makes for easy reference for next year hah..hah... I must try a few of them, especially this salted egg yolk one. Your cookie serving dish is so practical. Can serve so many varieties at one go!
Hi Phong Hong, great to see you. Yes, this is a must try. Already received many thumbs up for this cookie. Can bake some anytime you like. Don't wait until CNY, hehehe! This cookie serving dish is already over 20 years old. A gift from my thoughtful late father in-law. He knew I baked cookies for the family. This is very suitable for me.
