New Year Sweet Rice Cake (红糖年糕), or nian gao, is a welcome sight during Chinese New Year and a must-have dish. Nian gao 年糕（高) symbolizes progress, advancement, and growth.Nian Gao is also a popular gift to give when visiting family and friends during the holiday.

These nian gao-stuffed cookies are chewy, tender, and crisp! I used white sugar nian gao for these cookies but feel free to use any type of nian gao for the centre.
