I would just call it "flower biscuits"

When I was young,I love this cookies very much because I love flowers a lot.I also like to see the red cherries on the center of the cookies.It gave the cookies a pretty look and the cookies are very nice with the cherry added.

Every year I made these cookies for every Chinese New Year season and I do sell if someone were to order from me.These are pumping cookies and is very easy to make.

This one is topped with raisins. Latest updates.2020 made. The movement control order because of the covid-19 outbreak. Everyone is to stay at home. Everyone baking at home with nothing to do, but bake and cook only. Washing and cleaning too for me.

I think I need to buy good pumping cookies tools for better pumping so that the flowers would look prettier..
