Since Hari Raya is coming, i baked some cookies for the upcoming occassion. A very simple recipe which was taught by my mother.

1) CHOCOLATE TART COOKIES
(Yield: 60-70 pieces)

Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 250g

Butter - 125g

Cornflour - 25g

Milk powder - 25g

Icing sugar - 50g

Toppings:

Chocolate

Coloured chocolate rice

Method:

1) Mix flour, cornflour and milk powder together in a mixing bowl.
2) Cream the butter and icing sugar together.

3) Add the mixed dry ingredients into the butter and sugar bit by bit. Using clean fingers, mix the mixture thoroughly to form a dough as shown in the picture above.

4) Roll out the dough using a rolling pin until a suitable thickness.

5) Tap the cookie mould with flour to prevent the dough from sticking onto it. Cut out the dough using the cookie mould from the rolled dough.

6) After filling up the tray with the cookies, bake it at 170 degree celcius for 20 minutes.

7) While waiting to bake the cookies, melt the chocolate bar using a double boiler.

8) After the cookies are baked, fill the centre of the cookies with a teaspoon of chocolate liquid.

9) Sprinkle some coloured chocolate rice on the chocolate.

10) Refrigerate the cookies for at least 10 minutes to solidify the chocolate back.
