Tapioca Cheese Cookies/Kue Kering Sagu Keju

It's a little bit strange to name these cookies in English. We always call it Sagu Keju. It's made from tapioca or sago powder and added with grated cheese.

These are another kinds of cookies where you can easily find at every houses in Indonesia during the end of Ramadhan feast. I can say that these are my favorite cookies. I just love it when I take a bite of these cookies.... the crunch, the softness and the sweetness, the cheese taste... all these tastes are melted in the tongue. It's difficult to describe it in words, you just have to experience it yourself.
