First up, Kueh Makmur. These are traditionally shaped into leaves and they should have a leaf pattern on top. However, as this is my first time making this, I couldn't get the leaf pattern on top, despite crimping before baking.I almost dropped dead after finishing making these, the shaping process is tedious, and there were only 46 pieces! But the end result is worth it, rich, melt-in-the-mouth buttery cookies with a fragrant peanut filling on the inside. All those who tried liked it very much :p
All packed up as gifts (re-used the metal tin from buying mooncakes :p)
Next up, Cashewnut Crisps. These cookies are true to their name, it's really crispy. I've made some a few weeks back using peanuts in place of cashewnuts, and the fragrance is simply irresistable!
Still taking their time in the oven (sorry for the poor pic, my oven door is reflective)
Fresh cookies from the oven

Angie, nice cookies. I have never tasted Kueh Makmur before. Looks yummy!
I am so scared of tedious recipe after the PA attempt! *lol*
Yummy! Not sure I have tasted kueh makmur either.
Eve, Ching,thanks! Kueh makmur is also known as 'Leaf-Shape' cookies, that's the traditional shape. But sometimes they are also made into round balls. So if you find something with a buttery outer coating with peanut filling, most likely to be it. I should have taken a photo of the inside :)
Angie,
I love cookies, which are buttery and melt in mouth. I wonder you could share your Kueh Makmur recipe? I had not tasted any Kueh Makmur too although I have seen them before.
This month Eat maginze got this Kueh Makmur recipe but their one without any filling. I thought they should had peanut filling inside.
Jas, I've posted the recipe in KC, you can find it here
