Famous Amos Copycat Cookies 

This recipe was a recipe that was written by a Malaysian homebaker, which she claims is very close to the the Famous Amos Recipe.  The recipe went viral very quickly, and very soon, everyone seems to be baking them, and re-creating them.  This recipe is so easy to make, that my 12 year old son was able to help me make it!  You can either choose to mix the ingredients by hand, or effortlessly, with a simple hand-mixer.  The verdict from those who have tried my cookies?  A big thumbs up!  Really, very close to the real thing!  What's more, this recipe yields more than 140 bite-sized (same as Famous Amos size) cookies!   When you spoon the cookies out with two teaspoons, after mixing, don't worry too much about shaping it much, as it will look more natural after baking that way.  Hope you enjoy baking them and eating them as much as we do!

This recipe yields approximately 140 cookies or a few more (because the extras were eaten by my boys.)
