How to make these cookies:

1. Whisk together the sugar and butter until fluffy.

2. Add in egg yolk and vanilla extract.

3. Once the mixture is well incorporated, fold in all the dry ingredients (rose flour, almond powder, baking powder) until no dry spots remain.

4. Roll the cookie dough in between two sheets of baking paper, at 4mm evenly.

5. Chill the sheet dough in the chiller for around 30 minutes until the dough is firm. (depends on the temperature of the fridge)

6. Cut the sheet dough using cookie cutter. We are using scalloped round cookie cutter here. You may use your preferred shapes.

7. Bake the cookies at 170 degree Celcius in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.

8. Let them cool on the baking sheets. 

9. Melt the white chocolate at 30 degree Celcius, and combine in the softened unsalted butter. 

10. Pour the cream mixture into a piping bag and pipe equally on half of the cookies.

11. Pipe a dot of strawberry jam in the middle of the cream, and sandwich with another piece of cookie.
