140 gram icing sugar
1 egg yolk
260 gram flour
40 gram cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
4-5 tbsp dried Osmanthus flowers

2. Beat sugar and icing sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolk and continue to beat until combined. Add in the osmanthus flowers. Mix well.

3. Lower down the speed of the mixer and slowly add in the flour mixture until the dough comes together.

4. Transfer the dough to a work surface that is lightly floured, roll out the dough to about 20g each and use a mooncake plunger to create desired shapes and transfer it to the baking sheet. Or you can use any flower cutters too.

5. Bake the cookies for about 6 minutes  at 180 degrees and then brush the top of the cookies with egg wash and bake until the edges are lightly brown.
 
6.Transfer to cooling rack and store in an airtight container when it is cool.

Note: If the dough is too soft, wrap it up and let it rest in the fridge for an hour before rolling it out.
