Kaya toast, in a cookie.

Thank you for being part of this little adventure of mine — turning a Malaysian breakfast classic into a cookie.

These cookies were inspired by the kopitiam mornings of my childhood, where the air smelled of roasted kopi and breakfast was warm toast with sweet pandan kaya and salty butter.

I wanted to turn those familiar flavours into a cookie that could be shared and enjoyed anywhere.

I hope these cookies bring you a little taste of those kopitiam mornings, wherever you may be.

With love, @littlemisshelga
