Baking cookies is pretty easy, but not so easy that it's impossible to mess them up. If that were the case, there would be no such thing as cookies that were too hard, too crumbly, too dark, or too flat. If any of these sound familiar, you might be making one (or more) of these common cookie mistakes or bad baking habits.

Flat Cookie: In the middle cookie, the butter was too soft or partially melted, the flour was under measured or the cookie sheet was too hot.

I remember when I started to develop more interest in baking, about 4 or 5 years ago, it started with cookies. There was this tom yum flavoured cookie which was quite popular back then. And I tried so hard to find that elusive crunchy tom yum cookie recipe for our church's family day years ago lol.

Most of the tom yum cookie recipes that I tried would turn soft the next day, much to my disappointment. After trying countless batches, I gave up lol.

若想阅读中文版本，请在网页的右边 "Google Translate" 点击选择 中文简体 (Chinese Simplified）或 繁体 (Chinese Traditional) 翻译。可能食谱读起来会怪怪的，所以如果有疑问都可以问哦！

The tom yum flavour is quite popular here in Singapore - we can find Thai food easily here - and one of the popular Thai food got to be tom yum soup! I really love the sourish spicy taste of the soup, which really whet your appetite. I thought it was a bummer not being able to include this taste into cookies, since both are my favourites!

So recently, I saw Kenneth's post on Curry Laksa cookies. Immediately I thought of my tom yum cookies! It was also just so coincidental that I had some tom yum paste leftover from my lunch.

Verdict? I love it!

>> MORE CHINESE NEW YEAR RECIPES:

To make the taste closer to the actual soup, you can add in some chopped lime leaves. I didn't because I didn't like chewing on the leaves (lol), and this version was simple and good enough for me.

The cookies will be crunchiest on the day of baking. They turned slightly softer the next day, but still crunchy, so I am happy! Something new for this year's Chinese New Year!

Crumbly cookies loaded generously with salted egg yolk and curry leaves! Yes, you read it right, here's a cookie to join in the salted egg yolk craze. This Salted Egg Yolk Cookie recipe is shared by home cook Shartini, who loves to blend in local flavours into her bakes.

Well, salted egg yolk does make everything taste better. So let's down to business and share this seriously addictive salted egg yolk recipe.

First, we start off with the flour mixture. Place the cake flour and milk powder into a bowl and sift. Next, we prepare the cookie dough. Add butter and sugar into a mixing bowl, beat on medium speed until pale and creamy. Place in the mashed salted egg yolk and beat till mixture is well combined. Scrape sides down into the bowl to ensure cookie dough is mixed well.

Place ½ portion of the flour/milk mixture in and beat on slow speed for 1 min. Add in the remaining flour/milk mixture and beat until a soft dough. Lastly, add in the shredded curry leaves. Beat on low speed till it is evenly distributed. Home cook Shartini shares that by using curry leaves, it gives the cookies a wonderful aroma.

Use a melon cutter and roll the dough into small balls. Lightly press your index finger on the dough and apply egg yolk glaze on the surface. Bake it in the oven for 15 mins or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray before transferring into an airtight container. The salted egg yolk cookies can last up to 3 weeks when stored at room temperature.

These Salted Egg Yolk Cookies would definitely be a crowd pleaser! Not only do they look gorgeous, they taste amazing too. Best thing is it doesn't take long to make. If you love this recipe, you might love our Ondeh Ondeh cookie recipe too!
