Lilian's Pineapple Tarts
In Chinese culture, pineapple is considered as a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and is used in rituals such as moving into a new house. Now, it is commonly seen in the form of pineapple tarts during Chinese New Year as it gained popularity as an auspicious gift for family and friends. I’ve enjoyed baking these delicious cookies each year and hope this recipe brings as much joy to you and your loved ones.
