Recipe Description
There’s nothing quite like Chinese New Year without the sharing of kam, in the form of mandarin oranges. Translated as “gold” in Cantonese, kam signifies the abundance of good fortune and wealth, which is why bags of mandarin oranges have long been a symbolic gift in this occasion. Now, prosperity is also just a few bites away with these melt-in-your-mouth Lucky Tangerine cookies. Recipe and photo courtesy of SCS Butter.
