Malaysian Chinese New Year Pineapple Tarts

This version of the traditional celebratory pastries consists of buttery-tender cookie dough surrounding intense pineapple jam in short log shapes. If forming the logs (just one of several common shapes for the tarts) proves too fussy, you could form them into tricorner hammantaschen-type cookies instead by pulling three sides of the circle up over the filling and sealing into a triangle shape. Have them with tea in the afternoon, or serve them as part of a Chinese New Year feast.
