MALAYSIAN LOCKDOWN MEALS [6]

What do most people do at home during lockdown? Most times apart from spending time with their 'love' - the handphone, is searching for snacks in between meals. Shopping during MCO with time restrictions, apart from getting the necessities, it is merely possible to browse for snacks. Having a little time, I searched through my pantry and managed to find enough ingredients to make these cookies . Economical and easy to make cookies. These cookies are awesome, chewy, crunchy and yummy to savour with more than sufficient time at home. Freshly baked, it is so much better than store bought ones.
