Yes, that's a hedgehog riding a donkey! This Chinese cookie is made from fortune cookie dough. Normally I never eat fortune cookies, but these were so beautiful... that I can't eat them either.

And this is a frog flying kites in it's mouth!

nee dat snap ik. Misschien inlijsten? Heleen heeft vast een goede tip over hoe je een koekje kunt inlijsten. Heleen?

ha..perhaps i can give a little insight...the top pix is actually a monkey... the last character on that cookie is monkey in mandarin... i think it's related to the 12 lunar zodiac animals...

the cookie with the frog is with ancient chinese coins in its mouth...its a symbol of wealth for the chinese..just like the symoblic japanese cam cat...
