Chinese walnut cookies (核桃酥)- How to make the Chinese biscuit Hup Toh Soh
My cousin from Hong Kong visited us last week and brought us some Chinese walnut cookies. It has been a long time since I made these cookies.
After taking a bite, it suddenly evoked my memory of the taste of these beautiful cookies. So making some instead of getting more from the Chinese bakery would be a good idea.
Here is my recipe for Chinese walnut cookies.
The authentic recipe uses lard. However, I use butter in this recipe because it is more commonly available and is healthier.
I also use less baking powder as I am sensitive to the metallic taste when using a larger quantity. Therefore it may be less crunchy than those commercially sold walnut cookies. You can add slightly more if you are OK with the taste.
Enjoy :)

- Divide the dough into portions of about 30 grams each.
- Roll each portion into a ball by hand and place it on the baking tray lined with a baking sheet.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly by pressing one walnut half on top to make an indentation.
- Brush some egg wash on the surface of each cookie.
