Step 8: Sift in the flour and stir until no dry flour remains. Step 9: Knead into a dough without overworking, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Step 10: After resting, take out the dough, place a sheet of parchment paper at the bottom. Step 11: Roll out the dough into a round shape. Step 12: Use a mold to imprint a circle in the center. Step 13: Divide into six parts and cut with a knife, without cutting through the top. Step 14: Make a cut from the left side of one piece without cutting through. Step 15: Roll up the small strips from the bottom. Step 16: Press the rolled loops down with your hand. Step 17: Use a fork to make impressions at the bottom. Step 18: Cut two slits at the bottom of each piece. Step 19: Pinch the bottom to create a fish tail shape. Step 20: Use a toothpick to make small holes irregularly on the fish’s body. Step 21: Gently press the tail with chopsticks. Step 22: Clean the red beans and place them at the position of the fish’s eyes. Step 23: Place the fish with the parchment paper on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for 25 minutes in the middle rack. For the remaining dough, make a few small flowers and use butterfly pea flower water to dot on the fish’s body. Step 24: The beautiful ‘Year of Abundance’ fish-shaped cookies are ready.
