Auntie Mei's Chinese Heart attack Cookies


Auntie Mei's Heart attack Cookies

My Auntie Mei only makes these cookies, once a year, for Chinese New Year. Thank goodness!  Too many will certainly give you a heart attack!  Absolute melt in the mouth and easy.



500g plain flour
3 level tsp bicarbonate of soda
330g castor sugar
1 egg
400g tin of ghee

Sieve flour and bicarb three times so that the flour is light and airy.  Add castor sugar, mix.  Add egg and ghee and knead till it all comes together. (you can use a mixer, food processor or thermomix).

Shape into teaspoon sized balls.  Top with a chopped cherry.

Bake for 12-15 mins at 180 degrees Celcius.

Yum.....
