Chinese New Year falls on Valentine's Day this year so we see some of the Chinese New Year cookies this year were made into heart shape. I didn't plan on making this cookies actually but I was left with some pineapple dough from making the Nastar. So, I rolled out the dough, cut it with a lovely heart shape cookie press and put the middle with raspberry preserved. Valentine's Day needs some red color right? So, raspberry or strawberry preserved was the best choice for me. Lovely isn't it?
Be careful not to put too much preserved in the middle as it would spilled out during baking. But it was still okay, just scrape off the spill preserved when cool. I baked them in preheated 350'F oven for 12 minutes. I didn't apply egg wash on them because I didn't want to ruin the look of the raspberry preserved.
Here wishing all my readers a Sweet and Happy Valentine's Day and a Prosperous and Healthy Lunar New Year!!!
So pretty! Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day!
