If you don't like bak kwa in your cookies or prefer to have some crisp in these chewy cookies,
you can bake them with cornflakes instead.

Love the sweet and salty taste of these bak kwa / cornflakes cookies.
My son said that he likes the cornflakes ones more because of the extra crisp
... but we all like the bak kwa ones too!
"Come. Try my bak kwa cookies."
I gave a cookie to my husband and he took a bite.
"Huh! Why is the cookie so soft?" My husband exclaimed. We laughed because his first reaction was funny!
... but as he chewed the cookies further, he reckon that they are nice!
We unanimously felt the same too.
What if you don't like soft and chewy cookies??? I have a crispy sweet and salty egg-less cornflakes cookies recipe to share, so stay tune.

Here's the recipe.
Makes about 10 bite-size medium
60g runny* honey
50g salted or unsalted butter, very soften at room temperature
75g (1/2 cup) self-raising flour
60g finely diced bak kwa, homemade recipe at here or 20g cornflakes
* To ensure that the honey is runny and not too firm for mixing. Place honey in a heat proof bowl and microwave with short pulses of low power until honey is lukewarm (about 37°C) and runny. If you are living in a warm place or baking these cookies during summer, it is ok to skip this step.
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line baking trays with baking paper.
Using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and honey for about 2-3 min until combined and creamy.
Sift self-raising flour into the butter mixture and use a spoon or spatula to combine. Then, stir in bak kwa or cornflakes. Do not over-mix.
Scoop or roll about 1 tablespoonful of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 5 cm / 2 inches apart. Use the back of a metal spoon to flatten the cookie dough slightly.
Bake for 12 mins or until the edges of the cookies are firm and golden brown. If you are baking two trays at one go, swap and rotate the position of the tray halfway through the baking so that that the cookies are baked evenly.
Allow cookies to cool slightly on the tray for 5-10 mins, then transfer onto wire racks to cool completely.
Store any uneaten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up 3 days.
This recipe is so quick and easy to bake that you can bake these cookies in small batches and also at any time that you want so that your cookies are always freshly baked.
