Suji Cookies, an integral part of our Indian heritage, hold a special place in our hearts, especially during the festive season of Deepavali. Fond memories flood my mind of gathering with loved ones, rolling dough and delicately placing cherries atop each cookie, a cherished tradition that remains etched in my memory. Following the recent successes with Cayenne Chocolate Cookies, NyonyaPineapple Tarts, and Chinese Peanut Cookies, the allure of Suji Cookies was undeniable. With their humble yet captivating aroma, these buttery delights promise to evoke reminiscence and delight with every crispy, sweet bite.

Cayenne Chocolate Cookies
Indulging
in chocolatey delights became my next irresistible temptation after mastering
Nyonya Pineapple Tarts and Chinese Peanut Cookies. With my partner away on
travels, the kitchen was my playground, and time was on my side. So, why not
dive into the world of cookies again?
As someone who prefers a hint of spice over overwhelming sweetness, I decided to embark on crafting Cayenne Chocolate Cookies. Armed with cocoa powder and a mysteriously acquired bottle of cayenne pepper, I set out to create these eggless treats that promise to melt hearts and tantalize taste buds. The thought of their rich, chocolaty aroma filling my kitchen with warmth and comfort was simply irresistible.

Nyonya Pineapple Tarts
After
crafting Chinese Peanut Cookies, I found myself drawn to another delightful
treat: Nyonya Pineapple Tarts. What led me to these delectable delights? Simply
put, it was my curiosity and desire to explore the sweetness of Nyonya cuisine (Nyonya Lam Mee) that beckoned me forth.
The journey to perfecting Nyonya Pineapple Tarts was fraught with setbacks. Despite consulting various recipes, I found myself grappling with failed attempts and wasted dough. Yet, from these failures emerged a recipe uniquely my own. What sets Nyonya Pineapple Tarts apart? It's all in the crumbly, buttery pastry and the distinctive open-face design, a departure from conventional tarts.

Chinese Peanut Cookies
In a world filled with hustle and bustle, sometimes
it's the simplest pleasures that bring the most joy. And for me, that joy comes
from the warmth of my kitchen and the aroma of freshly baked cookies wafting
through the air.
It all started with a moment of inspiration during my annual leave, where instead of succumbing to the monotony of idle time, I decided to embark on a culinary adventure. With travel plans on hold, I turned to the comforting art of cookie making.
