Hey,

I tried this recipe, it turned out really nice...how can I achieve a stronger cheese taste ?
Thanks again for sharing this recipe..

Hi Serene,

To achieve a stroner cheese taste, add in 50 gm. of grated Cheddar cheese into the dough and it will be very delicious with the slight salty taste.

Have fun.

Hey aunty

I tried this cookies. But the dough was too soft to be cut out from the cookie cutter.

What do you think i have done wrong?

hi qiyuan,

if it's too soft, chill it first and it will harden up and then you work on it. Should be no problem.

Hi ugly ducking

Too much cream cheese will not be good for the cookies...they will not be crispy.

thank you

Aunty Yochana said...

hi elis,

the cookie has cream cheese in it, so it will not stay very crispy for a long time.

Dear Aunty Yochana,

with this recipe, you've mentioned that some strawberry emulco is needed. may i ask what is this, and is there a substitute to it?

i'm from australia, and is fairly new to baking so pardon my silly question =(

Regards

Aunty Yochana said...

hi newbie,

strawberry emulco is like an extract or essence.
