This is a famous and traditional cookie from Macau where every tourist bring some home after their visit. Among all almond cookies bakeries, Koi Kei Bakery and Choi Heong Yuen are the two most famous ones. Choi Heong Yuen was set up in 1935 and has been popular for over 70 years.
The cookies are made with flour, sugar, and almonds. For original flavor, a small piece of lard is added in the middle of the cookie. While for health reasons, other flavor such as pork floss, seeds, nuts, etc. are added instead of lard.
You can also buy the almond cookies in Hong Kong if you don't have time to visit Macau.
