Pineapple Tarts

Pineapple tarts refers to small, bite-size pastries filled with or topped with pineapple jam found in different parts of Asia.The pastry consists of a large proportion of butter and egg yolk, besides using corn starch, giving it a rich, buttery, tender and melt-in-the-mouth texture. The pineapple jam is usually made by slowly reducing and caramelizing grated fresh pineapple that has been mixed with sugar and spices - usually cinnamon, star anise and cloves.Considered a "festive cookie", pineapple tarts are usually consumed during Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali periods in Singapore and Malaysia as it is the star of the cookies.

Peanut Cookies are my mum-in law favorite, a must have for Chinese New Year. So, I have created my own recipe which once you pop into your mouth, it just melt & definitely you won't stop at one.

Making these cookies remind me of my childhood memories of helping my mum rolling hundreds of them. I was lucky enough to learnt how to bake from my mum. Really miss those days......
