Does anybody have the recipe for Tops Supermarkets chain's Chinese Cookies? They come 4 to a plastic clamshell for around $2.99. They are pretty large cookies, maybe 4 inches diameter and 5/8" to 3/4" thick. The edges are crumbly looking but the cookies have substantial weight to them... they are pretty heavy but taste possibly shortbread-based. They used to be topped with a big dollop (about 1" tall) of chocolate frosting in the center, but have since switched to chocolate drizzled striping which makes packaging easier (they can overlap them now without knocking the frosting off, and use a smaller clamshell.)

This is a local supermarket chain in Western NY & maybe northwestern PA.

Here's what I can make of the ingredients label, maybe this will help:

CHINESE COOKIES (4)

Wheat flour (niacin, reduced iron, triamine mononitrate, riboflavin (sugar, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, water, cultured buttermilk, lecithin, mono and diglycerides, sodium benzoate (preservative) whole eggs, walnut pieces, sodium bicarbonate, vanilla, salt, vitamin A palmitate added, sugar, vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated soy and cottonseed), cocoa powder with alkali, modified food starch, mono and diglycerides, potassium sorbate, salt, citric acid, milk, cocoa butter, chocolate, lecithin, vanillan, poly 60, natural and artificial flavor.

I have seen recipes for various "Chinese" cookies (many almond based) and these are completely different. These are made in the bakery of each supermarket daily or every few days. Maybe somebody here has worked for Tops?
