Hazelnut Cookies Recipe
Common pastries for CNY are Pineapple tarts, almond cookies, peanut cookies, etc. But let's break free from that and attempt a non-traditional bake - Hazelnut cookies.

Almond Cookies Recipe
A few more days to CNY and the frantic baking starts... Ok not really, this recipe is so easy that you can yield lovely cookies in an 1h flat.

Pineapple Tarts Recipe
*cue festive music, the most traditional of them all...
Dong dong dong chiang, dong dong dong chiang, dong dong dong chiang dong chiang dong chiang
Now that I have set the scene, you probably realise that this is a post related to Chinese New Year. And yes, it is coming and to be more exact, there are 8 more days to go.
To me CNY is all about the food. This is the only time in the year where I forget my waist-line and just eat (and eat and eat and eat). There is your traditional steamboat, Pen Cai (盆菜)... and definitely plenty of baked treats. Pineapple tarts, almond biscuits, peanut biscuits, etc.
The festive cheer is here and as an avid baker, I should be elated, excited, over the moon! Well, truth is, not quite...
