  2. 2

    Steam the salted egg yolks for 10 minutes. Mash them into fine crumbs while still warm. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar together for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Sieve in flour, corn starch, and salt. Add the salted egg. Switch to a silicone spatula and mix until it becomes a homogeneous dough. If the dough feels sticky on your finger, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until it is easier to handle. If not, continue to shaping.

  5. 5

    Place the dough in between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll into a thickness of 1/4-inch (0.5cm).

  6. 6

    Remove the upper sheet of paper. Cut-out as many pieces with a cookie cutter. Transfer them onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Gather the leftover dough and repeat the rolling process. If using a 1-1/4" (3cm) flower cookie cutter, you should be able to get at least 45 pieces.

  7. 7

    To make the egg wash, whisk the egg yolk and water together. Brush it over the top of each cookie dough. Finally, top each with sesame seeds.

  8. 8

    Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
