Full of Spring Sakura Sable Cookies
I wanted to make a crunchy sable cookies with the fragrance of sakura and a hint of salt. This recipe is the result of a lot of trial and errorThe cookies will become rather salty the sakura (cherry blossoms) for the garnish are large, so use small ones or cut them up before use. It's enough if you have about 15 g of sakura for the garnish and dough combined.Sucre crystal is just large-granule sugar, so you can use regular granulated sugar instead. Recipe by Malon Love
Crispy Sakura Cookies for Spring
I was supposed to have a booth at a Sakura Festival. Since cookies were highlighted at the booths, I came up with this recipe through trial and error. In the end, we did not have cookies at the booth, but I wanted to make it into a recipe anyway.These cookies would be even more spring-like with some chopped up salted cherry leaves. Cut the dough with sakura, or petal-shaped cookie cutters!Since it is very simple, it may be a good idea to add some fragrance to the dough.Add very small amount of food coloring at a time! The dough becomes quite dark when the food coloring dissolves in liquid! Recipe by Ma--yu

Sakura Petal Cookies
I make cookies every year using sakura leaves or tea. (I make my regular cookie recipe, but add sakura leaves)I had a bit of Sakura-an leftover and decided to knead it into the cookie dough.These cookies are mildly sweet, so feel free to increase the powdered sugar for sweeter cookies.You could make this with any kind of bean paste if you don't have sakura-an. You can also shape the cookies into rounds by hand rather than using a cookie cutter. Recipe by Makunouchi

Easy Sakura-Shaped Rice Flour Cookies For Sakura Viewing
I wanted to make cookies with a touch of spring, so I added salted sakura flowers into the dough.The gentle fragrance of the sakura and the slightly salty taste makes addictive cookies.The keys for this recipe are the addition of richness with the brown sugar, crispy texture with the rice flour, as well as the easy to remember ratio.The sakura flowers are salty, so remove excess salt and make sure to use unsalted butter or baking margarine. No need to sift rice flour because the particles are fine and will not clump up. Baking time depends on the oven, so watch the cookies bake and adjust accordingly. Recipe by vegeful
Sakura and Matcha Cookies
I thought sakura flavoured, sakura patterned cookies would be so cute, so I decided to make them. At first cutting out the sakura patterns is fun, but it is a lot of work and can be tedious and tiring. This is why I recommend doing the reversible and marbled cookies.The dough can be sticky, so make sure to dust it with plenty of flour. Roll out the dough over a sheet of plastic wrap before cutting out the pattern. Dust the pattern cutter with flour as well. To keep the colour from browning too much in the oven, cover the cookies with aluminum foil before baking. Recipe by Monakasan
Sakura Spritz Cookies
I bought a sakura-shaped nozzle thinking to myself, "I'm going to make cookies!". But whenever adding food coloring to my usual recipe the batter always becomes orange when I mix it with egg yolk. I thought up a recipe that resulted in a beautiful sakura color.Add the milk or heavy cream a little at a time! It's best to bring it to room temperature.The nice sakura color will fade if you bake them too long, so keep an eye on them as they bake. Less sugar makes the cookies less likely to burn and results in a prettier color. Recipe by haco858
Simple & Cute Sakura-Coloured Meringue Cookies
I used a load of egg yolks for a different cookie recipe so I needed to make something to use up the leftover egg whites.I decided to make them pink for that extra cuteness.① Preheat the oven to 110°C.② The colour will fade slightly and the cookies will turn slightly golden when baking so try to aim for a slightly brighter pink colour when adding the dye.③ Cooking time will vary depending on the model of oven so please adjust accordingly.

Cherry Blossom Scented Icebox Cookies
I based this off a friend's recipe for plain shortbread cookies.Change the shape and size of the dough to your liking at Step 7.Adjust the baking time if necessary, depending on your oven.I used the pink sanding sugar because of the cherry blossom version, but the white sugar would be nice too.

Crunchy Adzuki Cookies
I was thinking of ways to use tsubu-an. I randomly tried making cookies and it came out pretty good.In Step 4 when wrapping the dough, try to keep air out of the dough as much as possible. In Step 5 when cutting, if the log loses its shape, use your hands to fix it. Recipe by nasubeam
Kabocha Cookies with Aromatic Sesame
I thought kabocha and sesame would go well together, so I tried making this. I only used a little sesame, but it was enough.If you have an aluminium tray in your freezer, place your cookies on that and they will harden more quickly. The photo for step 4 shows it on a tray. You can make different versions using chopped raisins, chocolate, brandy or rum etc.Kabocha tends to rot or turn bad quickly when there are seeds left in, so if you want to store it, it's always a good idea to remove the seeds first, heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, divide into small portions and freeze. Recipe by mini
Crispy Matcha & Adzuki Cookies
I thought that matcha and adzuki beans is a nice combination, so I tried making something with them.* When you're wrapping and shaping the dough in Step 4, try not to incorporate too much air.* When you're cutting in Step 5, if the shape collapses, fix it with your hands. Recipe by nasubeam
Sparkling Cute Stained Glass Cookies
I wanted to make something different for a children's Christmas party, so I made these cookies.To make round holes for the Christmas tree ornaments, just use a straw!

For about 15 cookies. Recipe by Mari-

Cute Candy Cookies
I saw a cookie with a candy window on a TV show awhile ago. I thought if it could be made with a black cocoa cookie, it'd make for a nice contrast and be really cute, so I gave it a shot. When I put the candy in before baking the cookie dough would become smashed or stick to the candy and it was quite difficult. So I changed the procedure to add the candy during the middle of baking.Try to fill in the gaps with smashed candy bits as much as possible. The baking may differ depending on your household oven, so adjust the temperature and baking time as necessary. If the temperature is too hot, the candy may burn. It might be a good idea to have candy bits left over when baking so you can fill in any gaps. For the candy, I use orange and pineapple flavored Sakuma drops. Recipe by yotiko

Easy Spritz Cookies, Gorgeous Flowers & Hearts
I didn't really like the simple coloring of baked sweets in general, and came up with this recipe while I was in grade school, thinking it'll be perfect for many celebrations, such as enrollment, commencement, etc. I've been using it as a gift during many occasions for many years ever since.Following a request I received, I listed katakuriko potato starch as a substitute ingredient for corn starch, but I changed it to cake flour since although using katakuriko starch made it easier to pipe, the grooved pattern didn't come out that well.The grooved pattern will come out better when the dough is firm.When using powdered food coloring, dissolve with warm water or water, and color it stronger.If the dough seems too firm during the winter etc., soften by adding water or milk (no more than about 10 ml) or by warming it up a bit.I made the dough in the photo by putting the colored dough between the non-colored ones.The coloring will come out nicely that way.
