As a part of our celebration of the Chinese New Year, we are having a chinese feast and we are making as a treat some Lottie Moon Cookies.
Lottie Moon’s Sugar Cookies
When Lottie Moon first arrived in China as a missionary, many of the Chinese children were afraid of her. So Lottie made the children cookies to help them trust her. At first, the children would not eat the cookies. They thought the cookies would poison them!
Finally, the children could not resist. They discovered that the cookies were not poison after all—they were delicious! Soon the children wanted Lottie to be their friend. They began calling Lottie “the cookie lady.”

Wow! These not only sound delicious, but I love the story behind them, as well. :-) Thanks so much for linking up with "Try a New Recipe Tuesday." I hope you will be able to join us again this week. Many blessings, Lisa
