Hari Raya Grab Me Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Hari Raya Grab Me Chocolate Chip Cookies are wonderful for any celebration and especially for Hari Raya or Ramzan.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a celebration that marks the end of the fasting month of Ramzan (Ramadhan). During Ramzan, Muslims often gather to break the fast at sundown and a range of irresistible food is seen everywhere. After coming to Malaysia I have had the opportunity to attend many Buka Puasa’s (Breaking Of The Fast) and the sheer number of dishes was a revelation to me. At the one we attended last month we counted more than 100 mouth watering concoctions. Being human we could only stare, take photos and sample a few.

The malls & stores are full of snacks and tit bits of every hue and colour and so I decided to make some Hari Raya Grab Me Chocolate Chip Cookies as gifts for friends celebrating Hari Raya. These are so delicious that you forget your manners and grab another and another and yet another until the whole plate is empty. Whenever I make them they get over in one sitting, so plan to make a very large batch. Everyone will love them and you’ll be the most popular person around.
