I used to enjoy my own recipes but it's more satisfying if I'll share it to others. This cookie recipe is one of my favorite Filipino foods which is tasty, nutritious, and affordable. It's so delicious and quick melting to the mouth up to the last bite...

I just made these a few minutes ago and am eating a warm one right now. Very tasty delicate little short bread. I will save this and make it again but I gave 4 stars because I made some adjustments. First I couldn't get my dough to come together so I had to add a little water probably 1-2TB (maybe I used too small of an egg?). To the melted butter I cooled it then beat in the egg and added about 1/4 tsp of almond extract. Lastly after baking them I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. Overall I enjoy the texture - not as crumbly as I expected from a shortbread especially considering how crumbly they were going into the oven; also they are a little chewy! Very good simple cookie. Thank you for posting it! Read More

alright...so these were ok as written. my daughter and i made them this morning to try because they were quick. everybody ate the original recipe but we didnt' enjoy it very much because they were super dry and didn't have much flavor. so i tryed again with a few changes. first i used all flour instead of cornstarch then instead of powdered milk i used 1/3 cup of regular from the bottle milk and lastly i added 1 tsp of vanilla i think almond would work too. we split them up into more cookies splitting that dough into 12 make awfully large cookies. and the final result of the experimental cookies was that they were still kind of dry but they had a better texture and better flavor. (also we sifted powdered sugar on top of both batches of cookies which helped both:D) we will make these again Read More

These were a lot like the whipped shortbread that I usually make. Yes they are dry. So was my old recipe. I do add 1 tsp of almond and dust with powdered sugar. We all love them. Read More

It's one of the best sugar cookies I've ever baked so far. It's simple easy to make less greasy and tasty. In every recipe you're free to make some adjustments based on your preferences. To sum it up it's so nutritious and delicious... Read More

What a waste! Followed the recipe as written against my gut instinct (seemed like it would be dry). Got a bowl full of crumbs that would not come together to make a dough. Ended up adding another 1/4 cup of soft butter to get it to bind. Cookies ended up bland floury and dry. Read More

This brings me back to my childhood buying a pack of puto seco from the sarisari store. The ones I bought then had these cookies in little packets shaped like little sampaguita (jasmine) flowers which I intend to do with this recipe. To those commenting that it is too dry this cookie is really meant to be on the dry side like polvoron if you have tasted one. This is a crumbly kind of cookie; not a cake. The one comment I have on this recipe is that you dont sift the egg togther with the dry ingrdients. Sift all dry indridients first then the egg then a trickle of water or vanilla essence to help bind the mixture. Useda bit more extra sugar Read More
