Today’s post is Bak Kwa Cookies (pork jerky or rou gan 肉干in Chinese) . I know Chinese New Year is already over but nothing can stop me from making this chewy and fragrant cookies with some bak kwa leftover. Mine are not so crispy ~ it might due to using one whole egg for half recipe. But like Jane said it’s very addictive … is a must try cookie for next Chinese New Year.
