Walnut cookies or ‘Hup Toh Soh’ is a Chinese cookie made of walnut which is crispy & crumbly. Easy walnut cookies recipe, great for Chinese New Year!

Easy and most delicious melt in your mouth Chinese walnut cookies (核桃酥) recipe.

I am so glad that my contributor Siew Loon is back from her long hiatus on Rasa Malaysia. Siew Loon is a great friend and she is such a wonderful baker, especially Chinese New Year cookies.

I remember a few years ago, she brought me a bottle of her homemade pineapple tarts when we met up for Chinese New Year.

Anyway, today, she is sharing with us the recipe of Chinese walnut cookies.

Enjoy!

Easy Chinese walnut biscuits or 'Hup Toh Soh' placed in a oriental serving dish.

Happy New Year to all Rasa Malaysia readers.

When I was browsing through the various blogs for cookies to bake for the Lunar New Year, this recipe of walnut cookies from Nasi Lemak Lover instantly caught my eyes.

It reminds me of my childhood days where we would go to the market to buy these cookies and eat them with a cup of coffee.

Closed up crispy and crumbly Chinese walnut cookies, ready to serve.

After reading her blog post, I realized that most walnut cookies do not have walnuts in it.

But I have edited the recipe a bit and added ground walnuts and shortening into it as I simply love nuts.

The end result is these absolutely delicious walnut cookies topped with walnut pieces that are buttery, crumbly, and nutty.

They are great for the upcoming Lunar New Year, when friends and family gather together and some cookies to enjoy during the festivities.

They are also very easy to make and you don’t need a mixer because you can mix everything with hands.

To those celebrating Lunar New Year, happy year of horse to you all.

      I think if those who had issues issues with too much oil measured the oil by cups rather than by weight it would fix their problems. I can’t figure out how to use my kitchen scale to properly measure liquids, and it always wants me to add more liquid than I actually need. It might be the case for them as well.

      Can I use kitchenaid mixer to mix the ingredients together, instead of using the technique of rubbing the butter together with flour?

      Hi, I’m making my 2nd double batch today because I got requests for more, a friend ate ten at one sitting and only stopped because he had eaten them all. I had no problems with the recipe and the oil amount and shaped them with no problem, though I used a cookie small cookie scoop. I omitted the alkaline water because I didn’t have any but they still tasted great and still had a very unique texture. They looked beautiful, akin to peanut cookies. Thanks so much for all your unique recipes.
