The Road to Baking—Chinese Valentine’s Day Rose Heart-Shaped Cookies

The Road to Baking—Chinese Valentine’s Day Rose Heart-Shaped Cookies

Overview

First of all, I would like to thank Gourmet World and ACA for organizing the Baking Road event. I am very happy to participate in the event with 14 other friends. Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon. I thought that using my own hands to make a love cookie for my beloved family may be the best little gift to express my feelings. I would also like to take this to my friends who have supported me all the way. Thank you for your support and encouragement, which allows me to improve myself in a short time. It is also my happiness to have you by my side on the baking journey! This recipe is a recipe created by Teacher Bo Hui, but I failed to make it before, so I made adjustments in some places. I learned a lot through making it. I am very grateful to my friends at Meitian for their support and guidance along the way. The success of this recipe is largely due to you. Thank you!
