Nestum or better known as instant cereal, is definitely everyone's favourite. Kids & adults love it too. I remember when I was a kid, I will always scoop a spoonful of nestum & quickly put in my mouth before my mum noticed it. Have you or your kids doing the same nowadays?
Why not make some Nestum cookies this CNY? The fragrance of the Nestum filled the whole house when the cookies is baking in the oven. The crunchiness of this cookies is super awesome. And most of all, I think this is the easiest cookies to make.
