Chicky Pineapple Tarts

Finally completed my cookies baking for this coming Chinese Lunar New Year 2017! Let's see what have I baked ... Pineapple Tarts, Kueh Bangkit, Melting Moments, Desiccated Coconut Pandan Cookies, Chocolate & Raisins Cookies, Pistachio Shortbread, Salty White Chocolate Lavender Cookies & Cashew Peanut Chips Cookies!  




I bet this year the most popular pineapple tart design is this little chicken! Glad that all my adorable chicky pineapple tarts turned out well without any of it cracking or distorted. ^0^
