Hi Aunty,

What is the size no. of your star nozzle?

Hi,

I forgot to see what number but I took a star nozzle that I like - slightly bigger for cookies. If I'm not mistaken, it could be star no. 5.

Hi Aunty!

Tried this recipe 2 days ago. My little girl and picky hubby actually like this cookie. I decide to make more to give away during chinese new year. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

Aunty,

Hi Janet ,\

you can use ghee but you must let it rest for at least 4 hours so that they are not so sticky.

i loved this recipe, very light ..however i've prob piping the dough from e nozzle as it was quite hard. I followed the recipe using digital scale.. and x overmixed the dough. May i know what went wrong?? Thanks

Hi stella,

If the dough is too hard, just press into the nozzle and then use your thumb to press it out.
