Almond Cheese Squares


Almond Cheese Squares shared by a FB Group member,Cecilia Chia, who adapts this recipe shared by Shalin Poon which was published in Sin Chew Newspaper.

Since I still have some cheese powder, I gave it a try and found it to be quite delicious. Not quite the normal cookies which is sweet, this one is saltish with only a hint of sweetness. The cheese definitely stands out. If you like to try something different from your usual repertoire, try this.
