Ramadan 2022 is almost over, and Hari Raya will be here before we know it! And that means the return of our favourite Raya cookies and kuih Raya, which are staples of Eid a-Fitr celebrations!
1. Honey Cornflakes
Some of your finest childhood memories may be evoked by these traditional cornflake cups. All you’ll need are a few easy items that you almost certainly have at hand: honey, butter, sugar, and cornflakes! You can also add a splash of colour to your cookies by sprinkling them with colourful sprinkles. Some people prefer chocolate cornflakes over honey cornflakes, so simply substitute chocolate for honey for a chocolaty delight! Check out Asian Food Network for the recipe.
2. Semperit Susu
Kuih Semperit is the Malaysian form of a butter biscuit, and it’s usually shaped like a dahlia flower with a cherry in the centre. It might also be made in a variety of forms and sizes to suit your preferences. These delectable cookies will melt in your mouth and are oh-so-beautiful; you’ll be astonished at how simple they are to make! For the recipe, visit Resipi Che Nom.
3. Kek Batik
Kek Batik has somehow become a Raya must-have – it seems that everyone is making it! Thankfully, this cake is simple to make and doesn’t require baking; simply combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and chill for a few minutes before biting into a delectable slice. Visit Happy Fresh for the recipe.
4. Tepung Pelita
During the Ramadhan and Raya seasons, this Nyonya delicacy, called Kuih Tepung Pelita, is a public favourite. This creamy, sweet, and delectable coconut and pandan jelly dish is made up of two layers of unique flavours. Most people believe this dessert is difficult to make, however it is actually created with very few ingredients and can be prepared quickly. Check out Nyonya Cooking for the recipe.
5. Onde-Onde
Onde-onde is one of our favourite traditional kuihs in Malaysia. With delicate pandan balls rolled in shredded coconut and filled with gula Melaka, this treat promises a gooey goodness in every bite. While they seem to be difficult to prepare, the recipe is actually rather simple; in fact, you can make a batch in about 20 minutes! Head to Rasa Malaysia for the recipe.
6. Mazola Cookies
You’ll adore this dessert if you like peanuts. Mazola cookies are delicious, small peanut balls that melt on your tongue. For the finest flavour and texture, pan-fry your peanuts until golden brown. This treat will undoubtedly be a crowd pleaser because it’s nutty, creamy, and far too addicting. Check out Singapore and Malaysia Recipes.
7. Suji
Sugee, or semolina (rava) biscuits, have a wonderful, crunchy and crumbly texture and are easy to create with only 7 ingredients. This recipe does not call for the use of an egg. Ghee is used instead of butter, resulting in a creamy and rich dessert. They’re ideal for an afternoon tea and are also a favourite delicacy during Raya and other Malaysian festivities.

8. Puteri Ayu
Light and delicious cupcakes prepared with pandan sponge cake and grated coconut topping in specially constructed steaming moulds, Puteri Ayu would be a nice snack to accompany your coffee or tea. Head to Resipi Che Nom for the recipe.

Sometimes called the Ice Cream Cookie, these airy, crisp, and sweet egg white meringue cookies are easy to make and may be customised with a variety of flavours and colours. It’s ideal for Raya or any other holiday gathering. Check out What To Cook Today for the recipe and tips.
10. Kuih Bangkit Santan
Kuih Bangkit are traditional cookies made with tapioca flour, eggs and coconut milk. They appear hard on the exterior, yet they melt on your tongue and taste exquisite. For the recipe, head to K-Resipi.
