If the dough is sticky, make a little of the flour mixture and then add it to the dough instead of just adding plain flour. The cookies is tastier when you add a flour mixture . If you add plain flour to the sticky dough it will subtract from the taste.

Roll out the dough on a flat floured surface with a rolling pin. Cut to desired shape.

Preheat the oil and reduce it to low for 5 minutes when ready to fry. Deep fry until it is brown. if the chin chin gets brown right away then that means that this chin chin has burned and did not cook properly because the oil is too hot. Lower the heat and wait 3 minutes before you attempt to fry again.
