Block Print Flower Cookies

These soft butter cookies are made with mooncake molds. I found these gorgeous floral molds online and they really remind me of block print stamps from Jaipur. Block printing is a very popular form of textile art where you use multiple wooden stamps (blocks) to tap on various designs onto cotton cloth. They can be extremely intricate and require a ton of hand-eye coordination, luckily, these cookies need neither! If you don’t have mooncake molds, you can use a 3" cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and then use any type of cookie press to mold them. You can get adventurous—use straws, thread bobbins, really anything to stamp a decoration into your cookies before baking.
