Mooncake Cookies With Lotus Paste

here's what i baked over the weekend! my exams ended last saturday so i deserve a baking treat after all that stress ;p



anyway, i have made this before. see this. this time around, i merely used lotus paste instead of green tea paste. and yea i made this in a bid to finish up the leftover mooncake ingredients :)


i love the golden hue of the mooncake cookies! and it's really fragrant too!


here's what it looks like inside...

Snowskin Lotus Paste Mooncake

have your mooncakes with tea!

suqi's hands haha

and this is mine!

this is a very late post, considering that mid autumn festival was weeks ago!

this year i made snowskin lotus paste mooncakes with the help of a few friends :) it was for our mini mid autumn festival celebration we held in school about 2 weeks ago. and we even added a slip of "riddle" in the mooncake for a game! it was lots of fun that evening with lots of food and good company :)

the photos are courtesy of stanley, our expert photographer whom i pestered to take pictures of the mooncakes for me! thanks stanley :D

i have many more long over-due posts but simply have too little time to blog about it..

Mooncake Cookies With Green Tea Paste

i had some leftover green tea paste and an almost full can of golden syrup so i digged for recipes so that i could use them up! and i found the perfect one! a modified version of piggy mooncakes. haha cos i made them look like tau sar piah and i added green tea paste into the dough. the outer crust recipe was taken from Do What I Like. and it's really quite simple just that i found handling the dough rather challenging cos it's really gluely and sticky! just make sure you have have more flour for dusting.

but i'm glad the end product turned out good and pretty too. he says it could be less sweet but overall he liked it and found it quite special! and he ate quite a few in that one day haha. enjoy the pics :)

i used lyles golden syrup.

green tea paste.

mixture of syrup, oil and alkaline water.

make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and slowly pour the syrup mixture in as you stir.

and you get sticky dough which i then wrapped up with paste.

nice brown colour :)
