Note: I did a web search for Emplex. It is an emulsifier, specifically sodium stearoyl lactylate, and is made by American Ingredients Company. It is used to give cookies extra crunch. --SJ
I found this to be a simple cookie to make all year round.
My 9 year old son, Wong Loong Wai, loves making this when he has some free time.
