The famous Somali cookies, Ka'Ka…actually written as Kac Kac in Somali because they pronounce the letter 'c' as the arabic letter 'ain'. Really tasty crispy lil tidbits…most enjoyable with tea/coffee.

- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/8 cup butter, melted (2 tbsp.)

That is so strange as this
That is so strange as this dough needs just a tiny bit of moisture. Did you add too much? Sprinkle some flour and knead it in then try shaping them. But please try to follow the ingredients list exactly for best results next time.
