Rainbow Crystal Cookies








before bake in the oven


I brought this cookies for Stepping Stone's Toddler Group christmas party today. It's doesn't look like crystal as I forgot to coat the ball dough into sugar before putting in the oven, and it didn't rise much as expected. The outcome still came out deli to eat. You can mix and match the color to your preference.With regards to ghee, if you can't get hold of it just use butter instead. Got this recipe in Aunty Yochana and you can see far more better and beautiful photos she have with this cookies.
