Sugee Cookies

Busy, busy day today, I have been baking, and these are Sugee Cookies, recipe courtesy of Carine Chew at Leluscious Cheesecake & Pastry. https://www.facebook.com/leLuscious

  I never tried Sugee cookies before but Carine kindly shared her recipe with me so that I can bake these for Chinese New Year. But as she's in Singapore and I'm in UK, I couldn't try her homebake cookies in person.
