1. Pour a large bowl (“koro”) of flour into a big basin.
  2. Add salt. (If salt grains are large, place them in water to dissolve.)
  3. Pour in baking powder (called “baking poodr”)
  4. Take fly out of large oil bottle and pour oil into a coke bottle (this is your “measuring cup”).
  5. Pour oil into flour and mix with your hand.
  6. Find a short table to press out cookies. (Standing up is not an option because that is way too long to stand up and your legs will get tired. Sitting or squatting on the ground is how Chadians cook.)
  7. Add in sugar and knead the dough (or cut out shapes with cookie cutters).
  8. Pound white sugar into powdered sugar at your house (takes 20 minutes to pound).
  9. Pour oil on pan; spread it out with your hands.
  10. Put as many cookies on the pan as possible (cookies won’t rise very much).
  11. Decorate cookies with powdered sugar and small metal device made from an oil can which will make designs on the cookes.
  12. Try not to eat all the cookies before the visitors come on Eid!
