• Transfer this to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and pipe out  rosettes on the prepared baking tray.
• Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.(I prefer baking the cookies until the color turns to a pale golden.)
• Leave it on the baking tray for few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Notes: 

• To make 1 cup of icing sugar ,powder together 1 cup granulated sugar and  1 tbsp cornflour until it turns into a fine powder.
• Use milk only if the dough is stiff.
• You can also divide the dough into equal sizes balls and lightly flatten with your palm and bake.
• For the cookies to retain the shape ,place the piped cookies in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 minutes before baking.
• Make sure the oven temperature is right,if the temp is high the cookies will go flat.
