Media: Chinese almond biscuitA Chinese almond biscuit (or cookie) is a type of Chinese pastry that is made with ground apricot kernels. The biscuit is one of the most standard pastries in Canton, Hong Kong, Macau, and in some overseas Chinese bakeries.[2] They are small, containing no filling. In addition, they are very crumbly.

Hawkers line up on the street to push the merchandise. It is recommended on the official Macau tourism website as a famous Macanese snack.[3]Choi Heong Yuen Bakery and Koi Kei are among the most famous brands of almond cookies from Macau.
