Sakura Sabure - Cherry Blossom Shortbread Cookies

Delicious, airy, lightly almond-flavoured sable shortbread (or サブレー, 'sabure' in Japanese), made with homemade, cured Japanese cherry blossoms. The cookies themselves are very easy to make, while the cherry blossoms are a fairly simple multi-day project. Don't have access to an ornamental cherry tree? No worries - you can purchase preserved sakura easily too (see the notes below).
