A few decades ago, Hari Raya cookies, or kuih Raya, were mostly homemade. During Ramadan evenings after tarawih prayers, or on weekend mornings after sahur, mothers would be in the kitchen, shaping dough into cookies before baking them. And children were their diligent helpers. Kids who were not of fasting age got warm, freshly-made cookies as reward.
Traditional cookies include sugee cookies, pineapple tart, Milo cookies and semperit, just to name a few. And if there were supplies of tapioca or bananas, some even make their own kerepek.
