“No, I’m not going to make in bulks just for the sake of it. I want to make sure that every batch of cookies gets its fair amount of quality ingredients.”
I overheard mom’s conversation over the phone the other day. When I suggested the first time that mom should sell her cookies, she laughed out loud and said, “With the ingredients that I use? I’m going to make a huge loss!” Not only her, but everyone else who have tasted her cookies said the same thing. For a second or two, even I was convinced.
Who was I kidding? In one small cookie, barely taking the diameter of a 20 cents coin, packs a lip-smacking combination of coffee, cocoa, chocolate and white chocolate chips! Sometimes I follow mom to get her ingredients, and I kid you not, they’re not from the ordinary el-cheapo suppliers. It was through this that I learned the difference between SCS butter and other ordinary ones. Presenting.. her Mocha Cup Cookies.
I’m no baker, mom’s the genius. But my taste buds may be biased – so we bugged friends and neighbors, even gave them evaluation forms to fill! I’m not sure how many of them have expanded waistlines now, thanks to mom’s delicious goodies! Such as the not-so ordinary Cornflakes almond cookies.
“Is this femes amos? No wait, this tastes better!”
Or the Chocolate Chunks, yes, CHUNKS, not chips – Chunky Chocolate Cookies. I don’t take much chocolate but this is to-die for. That quote up there? Not from one person. From every single one who has tried it. How else would I boldly put that statement?
“Tell your mom that she can come up with all kinds of varieties, but keep her signature cookies baking all year round.”
Do I hear it? Do I hear it? The Bailey’s Cranberries Oats Cookies! Yes, you heard that right. BAILEYS. Baileys with cranberries and rolled oats. My personal favourite. The chewy texture from the rolled oats and cranberries is a perfect match as every single bit is evident in the mouth… (goes outside to grab some) …
Not a fan of sweet stuff? No problem! The Savoury Cheese Hearts packs just as much delicious goodness! I was taken aback by its taste at first, as I am not used to savoury cookies – so did my cousins who came by. They couldn’t stop snacking after that.
This is a big reveal on what The Kooky Jar is about. The official website will see its completion really soon, some time this week so stay tuned.

SwEEt!!!
How about singapore? 1 flavor each!
I have been so privileged being Mrs Hor’s neighbour as I get first dibs! Yes, I have tried all these cookies and more (think Chicken Pie, think Glutinous Rice, think Jiu Hu Char and plenty more). I can personally vouch that the Bailey cookies are great with a cup of hot tea and makes such a great snack when hunger strikes. Her Mocha cookies are rich and sinful. But her Choc Chip Cookies are chewy and out of this world.
[...] let me point you in the direction of yummilicious cookies. But order soon as orders close 1 [...]
how about people in KL? do we stand a chance in getting some? was sent here through krista’s fb page.
Hi everyone!

We stop taking CNY orders from the 1st of February — but other delicious goodies will be available all year long. Stick around to find out more!
Thanks for your support, and God bless. =)
Xing Ni, sorry dear, Singapore’s a little too far away. Unless you have someone who’s on the way, say maybe making a stop in KL. =) Or why don’t you come over?
Shoot, I’ve just missed the CNY deadline! Would love to serve my in-laws these home-made Penang goodies when they visit
Please email me if your Mom has extra *just in case* jars of Crunchy Almond/Cornflake Cookies and Chunky Chocolate Cookies. I’ll drive over ASAP to pick them up!

Thanks for the cookies & for being so accomodating about delivering the cookies, especially since our old year old was acting up that weekend! We loved both the mocha and cranberry ones, but my in laws preferred the cranberry ones – one whole bottle was finished in 2 days!
