Chinese New Year Cookies!

 CNY rolls round again but I've been so busy I haven't had time to bake much. But what is CNY without baking cookies?? So I decided to do a couple of simple ones; Crunchy Cornflake Cookies and Almond Cookies. Had planned for so many more, but lacked the time and energy. Guess it'll have to wait till next year then.

Cookies, cookies & more cookies ! CNY 2010

Busy, busy, baking, baking, filling, filling, jar after jar of...... deliciously sinful once-a year total indulgence of Chinese New Year cookies! 

This year's booty includes my signature Butter-licious!, Almond Shortbread, Cornflake Crunchies, Melting Moments, Almond Joy, Nutty Cookies.....guess that's all I could handle this time round (that's more than my tummy can handle though...!) 

 All too soon, CNY will be over and we can then look forward to next year's baking....and feasting!!

Chinese New Year Almond Cookies

With Chinese New Year fast approaching and with all my grand plans of baking this year's goodies for the family instead of buying them from the stores, I thought it is never too early to start work :p

This was a small trial batch of Chinese New Year Almond cookies, just to make sure the recipe still works and that it doesn't give me any weird surprises when I get down to churning them out by the hundreds nearer to CNY. Yum!
