		<description><![CDATA[Peanut cookies are one of my favorite Chinese New Year cookies. I grew up helping my aunt making hundreds of them. Shaping them into round balls, slightly flattened them with the cap of toothpaste to form the circle pattern on top of the cookies before brushing the top with an egg wash. Peanut cookies are crumbly and absolutely addictive. Once I start eating, I just can&#8217;t stop. Check out this peanut cookies recipe by my contributor Siew Loon. Don&#8217;t forget to scroll down and check out other festive baking recipes for Lunar New Year. Happy 2012 to all the readers! Time flies and with just a wink of an eye, 2011 has ended. Lunar New Year is just 3 weeks away and I am sure all of us are looking forward to eat lots of good food, gatherings with the loved ones and &#8220;ang pow&#8221; (red packets). I have managed to squeeze in some time during the long holidays to bake some of my favorite cookies, including peanut cookies. It is kind of addictive and once you pop one into your mouth you will definitely come back for more. Peanut cookie is a traditional Chinese New Year cookies. I remember my mom making them every year during for Lunar New Year. It is mainly made of peanuts and blended with oil and flour. Peanut cookies are obviously not a very healthy snack but they are too good. As it is for the Lunar New Year celebration, just indulge and enjoy them with a cup of Chinese tea.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s almost the time of year for mooncake as the Chinese will be celebrating Mid-Autumn festival (中秋节) on Sept 12. The markets and stores are filled with various brands and forms of mooncake. I have never attempted to make mooncake at home but my contributor Siew Loon is so talented that she even makes her own mooncake. Check out these gorgeous looking snow skin mooncake. Enjoy! (If you wish to buy mooncake, click the link. This pork jerky is also great with mooncake.) Time flies and in 2 weeks time we will be celebrating the Mid-Autumn festival. The history Mid-Autumn festival can be found at this link. This year the Mid-Autumn festival will be celebrated on September 12. This festival is also commonly known as Mooncake Festival. There are so many varieties of mooncakes these days and honestly I have lost count of it. Like every other year, I will make some mooncakes to be given away as gifts to friends and relatives. Instead of the traditional mooncakes, there was a special request from a very close friend to do Snowskin Mooncakes with natural ingredients. It came as a challenge, and I finally decided  to use carrots, dragonfruits and screwpine leaves. I thought it will be great to share with our Rasa Malaysia readers. Snowskin mooncake is a non-baked mooncake which is commonly eaten cold and fresh. It has a elastic, chewy and soft skin. It is made of Cooked Glutinous Rice flour (Gao Fen) which you can get at any Asian grocery shops or bakery supply shops. This is a must try recipe for those who loves Snowskin Mooncakes.
