Some called it Suji, some called it Sugi, and some called it Sugee… no matter which name you called it, they all have a common ingredient, which is Ghee. 

This is the first time I’m making sugi cookies for CNY and I have added in ground almonds to the basic recipe… hubby says its texture is like shortbread cookies and he like it…

Ingredients:

100 grams Ghee
120 grams castor sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
70 grams ground almonds
150 grams plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method:

1.   Mix first 4 ingredients, then add almonds and mix.
2.   Sift flour, baking soda and salt. Mix and add to above. Mix to form a dough.
3.   Scoop dough with a teaspoon, shape it with your hands and arrange on lined tray. Brush with yolk glaze.
4.   Bake in preheated 180 degrees C oven for 12 to 14 minutes till yolk glaze on cookies look golden yellow and bottoms of cookies are golden brown.
5.   Allow cookies to cool completely on a rack and store in container.

  1. I tried the recipe, and instead of using vanilla essence, i used some fresh lemon juice. It complements the almond tast quite nicely! (The kids loved them)
