Found this interesting recipe at M4M forum. Apparently, many members are looking for this recipe as its supposed to resemble Famous Amos cookie.
Here's the recipe by Curryman
(A)Process/rub the following together thoroughly:
350g self raising flour (Another idea for a murukku-earth-shattering-like crunch is to replace 100g of the self-raising flour with bread flour + 1 tsp baking powder.)
100g rice flour
50g corn oil
(B)Cream till fluffy:
200g unsalted butter
100g light brown sugar
100g gula melaka( finely minced/grated )
150g castor sugar
half tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp brandy/rum/whisky
(C) Followed by:
100g milk powder
1 egg
(D) Stir in:
150g chopped nuts (I use Pecan)
500g chocolate chips
mixture (A)
Pipe, drop, pinch or whatever lah on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 170C for 15 - 20 mins.
Variations on the theme:
- rum with raisins
- brandy with almonds
- whisky with cashews
- instant coffee paste with peanuts
- honey with dessicated coconut
- lime cordial with mixed peel
Verdict: Its a very crunchy cookie, almost to the point of hard ... but my hubby loves it!! Btw, I added 1 tbsp of kahlua (coffee liquer) to add to the taste
