Caterpillar & bunny mooncake cookies

N's creation

Yummy Fruitty Nutty Mooncake




N's creation 1 for E, 1 for herself :)

 

I baked these yummy nutty and fruitti mooncakes, vis a vis the conventional mooncakes filled with overly sweet and oily lotus paste. These are absolutely great. In my view, they can be classified as health food.  I filled them up with : walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, melon seeds, cranberries, raisins, sesame seeds and I "glued" them together using some homemade apple jam (little added sugar).

With some extra dough, N had great fun with it.  She moulded them into a bunny and an ant. Use your imagination on which is which :) N was very sweet. She gave the catepillar looking ant to E. Both packed the lovely creatures to school and the friends absolutely adored them :) for they could only have piggies (commercially available).
