She said this cookie recipe has been in her family since the 19th century. They are basic butter cookies that have the thickness of shortbread. I substituted some of the original ingredients to adapt to the American climate and my kitchen. To shape the cookies, I used heirloom wooden cookie molds purchased from Mrs. Borromeo in Pampanga]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/pan-de-san-nicolas/feed/ 3 11955 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-petit-fortunes-tiny-cashew-macaroons/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-petit-fortunes-tiny-cashew-macaroons/#comments Sun, 22 Nov 2015 05:00:28 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5457 These Petit Fortunes- Bite-sized Cashew Macaroons are easy to whip up and a delight to give.

The ingredients she used in the original recipe were basic and easy to obtain in Pampanga, Philippines. But here in my American kitchen, I improvised because I could not find arrowroot cornstarch.
