Open Face Pineapple Tart | CNY Cookies | Melt in mouth Pineapple Tart

Pineapple tarts are festive cookies especially they are eaten during Chinese New Year. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year and this year is Horse Year. I wanted to make these cookies last year but due to some reason I couldn’t make them and so I made glutinous rice balls/Tang Yuan. This year I made both open face pineapple tarts and closed ones. And I used home-made pineapple paste/jam for the filling, which I will post later. These cookies really melted in mouth. I got this melt in mouth pineapple tart recipe from The Little Teochew.
