Hi Ann, can I use granulated sugar?
Hi Fifi, It’s better to use caster sugar as the dough is quick to mix. Granulated sugar will not melts that fast.
hi ann, the cookies are so loey. Can i ask if i can omit the almond meal s i do not have them ?
Hi Syl, omit almond powder and increase plain flour to 125g.
Sure Syl, cookie press can be used. Change the 25g almond meal to plain flour.
Hi Ann,
Will it be possible to use the normal cookies mould to make the shape. I do not have a cookies piper. Thanks for advice.
Hi Tania, The dough is a bit soft for cookie mould. Anyway, you can also roll the dough into small ball and press it down with a fork.
What about with a cookie press?
These look so cute. I’m hopeless with piping but have bookmarked this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
these looks so cute and pretty. I am awful with piping , you make it look so easy. I end up breaking the bag for some reason LOl
Ann, your cookies are so pretty! Definitely the sort of cookies to bake for CNY or as gifts. Whoever receives will be so impressed!
Those piped cookies look so perfect, Ann. I am going to bake a batch soon!
