Chinese Blossom Cookies/Biskut Bunga Cina

This is one of my favourite cookie beside the Daisy Cookie.The design is similar but  the difference is the shape of the petals. The name chinese blossom is given  basically because it is said that the petals resembles Chinese blossom flower.The difference between this and the dahlia cookies is the usage of flour. This cookie uses red rose flour and corn flour while dahlia uses custard flour and plain flour. .Red Rose flour is a flour used specially to bake cookies as its light in texture. The flour has been mixwith cornflour to make the cookies crispy. You can get it in any bakers shop. Ikg of flour 
costs about RM3 plus.

You can add some pink colouring to the dough to give double colouring.Place a small cherry in the centre.
