CNY 2015 - Chocolate Marble German Cookies

Many blogger friends have baked this melt-in the mouth German Cookies for awhile.  There were so many last year but I was attracted to the marbled ones shared by Ann Low of Anncoo Journal which looks simple yet attractive.

Like other cookie recipes, I baked a double portion to get enough to share with my siblings and mother in-law.  Separately baked another portion for my neighbour when the first bake turned out to be so good.
All in all, I ended up baking 4 portions of this recipe.  Isn't it a bit too much, but they really are good.

Verdict - lovely, lovely cookies that are so crispy, fine and aromatic.  Taste perfect, melt in the mouth too.  This is my favourite kind of cookies. It's a keeper.  Made some for my neighbour and she gave a Thumbs Up.
