The multicultural wonders of Malaysia are best experienced with numerous festivities celebrated with a unique variety of cuisine and traditional delicacies. Across these festivities, there is a defining similarity in which we all indulge – a culinary heritage made up of a wide array of delightful cookies that gets addictive with each bite.

Treasure Cookies is the perfect recipe to kick-start the festive mood.

Each gorgeous cookie, with flavour to match, is not only delicious, but will also inspire your family to get together ahead of time to bake, and be creative with cookie decorating, in preparation for the auspicious season. There’s nothing quite like Chinese New Year without the sharing of kam, in the form of mandarin oranges. Translated as “gold” in Cantonese, kam signifies the abundance of good fortune and wealth, which is why bags of mandarin oranges have long been a symbolic gift in this occasion. Now, prosperity is also just a few bites away with Lucky Tangerine. These addictive melt-in-the-mouth cookies with a hint of almond are sure to satisfy your hunger pangs.
With prosperity also comes happiness. The creamy, crunchy, and distinctive texture of pistachio nuts folded into dainty looking shortbread savours your taste buds, making Precious Pistachio Rollover Biscuits a joyful addition to your cookie tray. The finely chopped pistachio in every bite of these sumptuous cookies, alongside the perfect blend of butter and nutty goodness, is surely a delightful treat to be served during this prosperous season.
Inspired to reinterpret the moon cake, SCS butter is introducing Pot of Gold Miniature Tarts. Combining an array of traditional Chinese New Year seeds and nuts, they now sit on a delicate & flavourful crust. These tartlets are baked with melon seed, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, whole almond, macadamia and pecan, held together by rich, gooey caramel.
“There is nothing like the aroma that roams through a home which instantly triggers a nostalgic familiarity during festive seasons,” says Julie Yeap, Business Manager of Auric Chun Yip Sdn Bhd. “It is that very nostalgia that motivates us to continuously work hard in providing high quality key ingredients in your baked goods.”
