There is something special about traditional Chinese cookies that brings back memories of the good old days. Do you remember seeing these cookies displayed in big glass jars at old-fashioned coffee shops and kopitiams? Sometimes, they are individually packed in little plastic wrappers and sold at traditional bakeries. Yes, I'm talking about 桃酥饼 (Chinese Walnut Cookies)! Funny how our tastes change as we grow older. When I was around 24 or 25 years old and still working, I would never think of buying these cookies. Back then, I always thought they were a favorite among older people. They simply weren't the kind of treats I would choose! Now that I'm in my 50s, I've grown to appreciate these old-fashioned cookies. Perhaps it's their lovely nutty aroma, buttery richness, or that crumbly texture that makes them so enjoyable. Sometimes, the things we once overlooked become the very things we love years later!
