Matcha and Mocha Butter Cookies – Chinese New Year
Butter cookies are all-time favorite classic and today I am going to show you guys how to make Matcha Butter Cookies and Mocha Butter Cookies. They are super easy to make and delightful to munch on in the afternoon. Super elegant too if you want to present these cookies as a gift for someone.

Marble Cake 大理石蛋糕
I love marble cake and always finding ways to improve it! The swirl turns out beautifully and the secret to that deep black chocolate batter is actually charcoal powder. It really stands out and bring the beauty of the two swirls. Of course, charcoal powder is totally optional but I highly recommend you to incorporate it if you want to impress your family and friends with this recipe. It’s been a while since I came out my marble bundt cake recipe and I have improved upon it. This recipe is much more buttery and uses just cocoa powder.

Jam Drops (Thumbprint Cookies)
Don’t you just love something that is buttery and jelly? In Singapore (since we follow the British), we call these Jam Drop biscuits. But in America, it is commonly known as Thumbprint Cookies. Nevertheless the names, they are the same and super delicious. Basic butter cookie with wonderful sweet jam in the center. They are great as a meetup gift, so be sure to double or even triple the recipe! It will sure be gone in just a few hours time.
