Delectable home-made cookies for the CNY

This is the time of the year again...one and a half weeks more to the Chinese New Year.  When I was young, at this time of the year, Sister and I would be very busy helping Mother prepare CNY cookies /sweets.  Mother made them all from scratch...she never bought them ready made, and I remember these cookies she made tasted so much nicer than the ones now which we can purchase.
 I remember these are the 5 cookies / sweets that Mother was sure to make.
 
Kueh Bangkit...I have never, until now, tasted kueh bangkit better than my Mother's

Kueh KaPek

Mother, Sister and I would spend hours at the charcoal stove making the Kueh Kapek.  The
result were very yummy and crispy Kueh Kapek that we can never get anywhere else 
Coconut candy
  
Sun-dried agar agar

Mother's home-made Kueh Bahlu was the best!
