Cranberry Pineapple Tart Cookies

This is my first cookies for this year CNY...Cranberry Pineapple Tart Cookies! I'm pretty satisfy with it pastry texture, it is light and full of butter flavour! 

Pineapple filling which I bought from Giant, it is very sticky and easy to roll into small balls.

Pineapple tart cookies ready for oven. Place a piece of dry cranberry on top of each pineapple tart to enhance the presentation. The pastry dough was not easy to handle, it soften easily. I divided the dough into smaller portions and keep others chill when I work on one.
