Recipe: Sakura shaped sugar cookies to celebrate the blossoming of cherry blossoms in Yokohama, Japan.

The last 4 years I've been in Boston while obtaining my undergraduate degree, I've been missing out on the beautiful cherry blossoms in Japan. I love the spring in Yokohama, so it saddens me to know that I'm missing out on wonderful weather, temperature, air, scent and colours. To celebrate the full blossoming of the trees in Yokohama, I made sakura shaped cookies using the recipe I posted earlier on. 

Note: I used all purpose whole wheat flour instead, did not add matcha powder and added some strawberry jam for the pink. I also lessened the amount of sugar used to ~2 - 2.5 tbsp and it came out great.
