That’s wonderful to hear, Lisbeth!

Thanks for trying the recipe. Adding extra oil will actually make the cookies more crumbly rather than firmer. If you prefer a sturdier texture, try slightly increasing the all-purpose flour and reducing the almond flour. That will give the cookies more structure so they hold together better.

Thanks so much for sharing your gluten-free tips, Clare!

For folks who want to make these gluten free: I just made some using Pamela’s pancake and baking mix instead of the regular flour, and they’re good! (I can’t compare them to a batch made with regular flour, though, since I don’t buy regular flour.) The first batch was not as great because I forgot that the Pamela’s already has baking soda and baking powder in it, so I omitted those in the second batch, and am very happy with the result. Thanks to Wei Guo for the recipe!

Is there a way to make it more solid? Would adding an egg to the mix make the cookie hold? No wsy this will survive transport without falling apart.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m so glad the cookies came out well, and your butter adjustment sounds perfect. Appreciate your kind words, and hope you enjoy more recipes.

I have to rate this recipe because it’s just so good. I’m chinese, grew up in Hong Kong, now living in a small town in Ireland, i have to travel a long way to get to an Asian shop, most of the time they only have essentials like rice & noodles, sauces …. not too much variety of treats. Making my own vision of Asian food is just part of my normal life here. This recipe absolutely hit the spot, easy & tasted so good. I used oil, but added extra melted butter because the flour in Ireland is much ‘heavier’, it needed extra ‘oil to bind. The added butter made the cookies tasted lovely, yet not too much so, the cookies still hold the shape.
Thank you, thank you for your work in this website fill with recipes, im looking forward to trying more.

This means so much, Melina! I’m really glad the recipe matched what you were looking for and that it’s now part of your safe foods. Thanks for the kind words and for trusting my recipes!
