Today I want to tell you about one of the cookies from INA COOKIES BANDUNG - INDONESIA (Retail-Surabaya). It is NASTAR KEJU.
The name 'NASTAR' came from the word 'ananas' which means pineapple, and 'taart' which means tart, or simply, Pinapple Cookies. This cookie is also one of the special cookies for Idul Fitri celebration in Indonesia or even for celebrating Christmas.
In the old time, Nastar was more like Chinese family ritual, where every family made this cookies by themselves, using their own recipe that they had from generation to generation. But, as the time goes by, this ritual gradually vanish. And the bakers take this chance to sell the Nastar they made months before Chinese New Year. And nowadays, many bakeries, cake shops, or cookie shops have Nastar on their windows at anytime. So, we do not have to spent many hours baking, or wait for months until Chinese New Year only to taste this amazingly tasty cookies.

The original Nastar has round shape with a cut of raisin or clove on top of it. But, as usual, INA COOKIES INDONESIA, always want to make a difference. We shape this Nastar like half moon shape. So, it has extra filling than the original, which Chinese people believe that it brings more fortune. And we sprinkle some parutan KEJU (English: grated cheese) on top of the cookies to make it even more special
