Pineapple Tarts (黄梨饼)
I miss my mum when I make these pineapple tarts. Since I am still a kid, my mum used
to sell cookies during Chinese New Year to earn some extra income. She made many types of cookies but pineapple tarts is the best seller. I like her pineapple tarts very much but it is just too difficult to copy since there is no written recipe. I have tried to emulate her skill but I got to admit she is so gifted.
This time I use this simple yet delicious recipe from Sonia. This recipe is highly recommended by many bloggers too.
These cookies are melt in mouth kind and nice buttery taste. Simply love it !
A sunny day for my sunflowers !
I am submitting this post to Chinese New Year Delights 2013 hosted by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover.
