This is the version 3 of the Mahjong cookies. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I changed up the flour ratio of the top cookies, added a bit more cornstarch and milk powder. It stayed in shape a lot more, and the whole cookie just looked a bit more uniform. For the filling, I add a layer of jasmine cream cheese butter on top of the matcha cream cheese butter cream, and in between, it's still the deep, rich matcha ganesh. I really like the flavor profile of this combination. The jasmine really added a layer of refreshment to cut through the richness of the cookie.
For the last post, a lot of people were interested in character writing and how I do it. After a bit of experimentation, I find the best way to do it is to press the cookie mold very, very lightly onto the cookie. You can see it in the last picture, that's how lightly you want it to be, because then it gives you a bit of a guideline to write on, but the indent is not deep enough that you have to fill it in, which is difficult to get it a clean look. After baking, when it's still a bit warm, not hot, I used a toothpick dipped into a matcha chocolate mixture to write the character on to the cookie. That way, the chocolate won't be hardened so quickly and gives you a bit more time to work with it!

Holy moly, these look incredible!!! ๐๐ And I’m not just saying that due to my obvious bias ๐คญ I would seriously go get some immediately if they were at a bakery near me.
That’s amazing! This is one of those foods I’d hate eating, not because it’s bad but because I’d feel too guilty ruining such a work of art with my plebian tongue.
Iโve seen all three of your versions, and I have to say, they look really really good, itโs a very creative idea. Iโd definitely finish all of them in one go!
Omg I love it
genuinely a work of art!

Wow, how does it feel to be a master cookie baker ๐คฉ

These look amazing!
I saw your last post with these and I will say once again that I want those in my mouth.
Impressively pretty
You should have made the whole set not just the green dragon so you could play as you eat ๐คฃ
How’d you write the lettering? Did you stamp it and use a mold for the cookie itself?

I wonder if a tiny tiny bit of mint or lemon somewhere would make the flavor profile even better

Dear Sir and Or Madam

These are insane. How did you get the detail on the tiles so clean? Is that a stamp or hand-piped?
