Pineapple Tarts 黄梨塔 CNY 2015

Pineapple Tarts are a must have in every Chinese household whether homemade or store bought for Chinese New Year. The goodie is super auspicious as it signifies good luck and prosperity for the Chinese Luna New Year. So this year, I tried this melt-in- your mouth recipe and made a simple flower design using cookie cutters.  We finished this cookie within a day as I only tried with half of the recipe, from here.
