    the mister potato that you used, any particular flavour? According to your recipe it is crushed. How fine should we crush the potato chips?

    thanks.

    Hi anonymous,

    I used the plain traditional potato chips (guess if you something creative...go for some pizza flavour or garlic flavour). Use your hands to crush them but I'm scared to hurt my hands so I used my blender to blend coarsely - use PULSE and judge yourself.

    Kwa kwa,

    these cookies are not the hard crunchy type. Normally with cheddar cheese it's a different kind of crisp though it's not soft also. I don't know how to express but seems yours is not crispy enough. Try to bake at a lower heat say about 150C and they will become crispy.

    Hi Yochana,

    Thanks for yr guidance. I think for the 1st batch of cookies, too kan cheong to eat. Never wait till golden brown, took out after 25mins and pop one into the mouth. Subsequence batches bake longer and it turns out golden brown and crispy.

    hi kwa kwa,

    emplex can be used for all types of cookies and it's specially good for savoury cookies that uses cheddar cheese.

    You can also use for your pineapple tart dough.

    Hi anita,

    If I'm not mistaken, it's the normal size - standard size. Try to cut down on the potatos chips. It's a bit too salty.

    Hi Aunty,

    I baked these today but I think I did something wrongly. My cookies ended up crispy outside but the small little bits of cornflake inside is still chewy. I baked them at 155 deg C for 25 mins. They are already golden brown. Could it be the way I added the cornflakes & potato chips? Cos lazy me mix the flakes, chips & flour together before adding to the creamed butter & cheese.
    Hope you can help me to troubleshoot.

    Hi Aunty

    I would like to try baking this cookie but I do not have milk powder, and my cheddar cheese is the Kraft singles type. Will it work? Thank you.

    Hi Erica,

    yeah it still works. Cut down the salt if your potato chips are the salty type.

    Hi Aunty Yo

    I baked the cookies according to the temp and time u stated but find that the cookies were not crispy. There were some chewy bits inside which I don't know are potato chips or cornflakes?! Subsequently i baked them for a longer time and they did turn cripy but then they are a bit burnt :-( Is it because i did not use emplex?

    Hi,

    probably you oven is hotter...use around 140 to bake till crispy. it won't burn your cookies.
