Let me see, the reasons to do so is endless..Firstly, my family gets to enjoy the pineapple tart cookies, my first time posting on my Asian roots on baking, the best part is having you to pop over to feast your eyes and perhaps give it a shot in baking this cookie.
Pineapple Tart Cookies are really famous here in Malaysia, and it's usually a yearly affair. These cookies are sold everywhere by commercial bakeries to home baked whenever Chinese New Year is coming. Of course, there are other various style too depending whether its Nyonya, Indonesian, or Taiwanese; but the base ingredients are pretty much the same.

It's essential to get the balance between the tart and cookie right for the ultimate Pineapple Tart Cookie experience. Sweet tangy pineapple nectar encased in an ultra moist aromatic buttery melt in the mouth cookie is definitely heaven in a single bite. Since it's #CitrusLove month hosted by Cafe Terra this January 2012, I am thinking this little cookie will be a perfect candidate. Make sure to hop on over there to check it out too.
Till then... to all my Asian readers, Gong Xi Fa Cai..May you have lots of good health and prosperous year!!!

Love to have a bite.
Ok, so at first, I thought these actually looked like little pigs in a blanket and then I read the title and saw pineapple tart and thought, "Noooo, these can't have hot dogs in them!" And then I read the post and ingredients realized it was the pineapple filling. Yes, I am dumb, lol! But, these look delicious! I love pineapple!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-your cookies with the pineapple filling are an absolute divine!

ReplyDeleteOhhhh man those pineapple tarts look amazing! they look like the dessert version of pigs in a blanket, but I am sure are SO much better being sweet and tart!
ReplyDeleteThe pineapple cake from Taiwan has similar pineapple filling and I really enjoy eating them. I'll definitely enjoy this sweets (and know that I won't stop eating until they are gone). I love your photos Jo! And Congrats on Top 9 (Thanks for Sandra and Lizzy's comments). You rock girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday everyone! I am glad to know that the photo tricked your eyes. It sure does look like piggy in blankets, but they are not. These are the most delectable pineapple tart cookies and my absolute favourite. We always get to have them during Chinese New Year. If you love pineapple, do give this a try. Have a great weekend!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy CNY!These look just like the Pineapple Tarts I made on my 2nd blog www.asianinamericamag.com
ReplyDeleteWas just wondering, where can I find your recipe? Hope to bake it, too! We love Pineapple Tarts at home, and my niece who's from Singapore tells me they're a symbol of prosperity! Cheers!
Mmmmmmhhh, kinda gave me a foodgasm reading how you described the way the shredded pineapple is cooking down. Just too delectable!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Tobias
LOL... That sure makes my day. "FOODGASM".. Love the way you enjoyed my post. xoxo
DeleteI can't begin to tell you how much of these i've had during the new years. IT was disastrous! I think you've made them well too! :) Happy lunar new year!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! I always buy these cookies in tin cans sitting on a supermarket shelf (who knows how long they've been sitting there!) I never thought about making them. These look so pop-a-able and crumbly Jo! I have to try out your recipe and let you know how it goes. Pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year girly!
Bonni girl! Hmmm.. I definitly highly recommend to make them on your own. It taste much better. Fresh and high quality ingredients is key here. Drop me an e-mail if you wanna know more..kekeke.. Wish I could send you some, but I know it will be all crumbled by the time it even gets on the plane and end up being toss out the bin my immigration. LOL.. Thanks dear for the compliment. Huggggsssss
