From kuih bangkit and kuih kapit, to peanut cookies, butter cookies, pineapple tarts, and more, there's just something about having an assortment of CNY goodies laid out on the table for your guests to enjoy.

Traditionally, these sweet treats are made with ingredients that carry auspicious meanings. For example, pineapple or ong lai sounds like 'incoming wealth', while the shape of peanut cookies resemble coins or gold nuggets, symbolising wealth and success. Sweet treats like kuih kapit, or love letters, are also believed to bring joy and longevity.

All in all, sharing and enjoying these cookies with loved ones during the festive season has become a staple for most Chinese families.
