Equipment

  • 1 Wilton 1M open star piping tip
  • 2 disposable piping bags

Ingredients
  

  • 113 g unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 30 g icing sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 113 g cake flour
  • 40 g cornstarch

Instructions
 

Prepare the cookie dough

  • Using a hand mixer, beat the unsalted butter until smooth. Be sure to soften the butter at room temperature in advance.
  • Sift in icing sugar and salt. Beat until light and fluffy with a pale yellow colour. Use a spatula to scrape off the sides to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Sift in cake flour and cornstarch, then fold the batter in a cutting method until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.

Prepare the piping bag

  • Place the piping tip (I used Wilton 1M open star piping tip) in a disposable piping bag. Snip off the tip of the bag to fit the piping tip.
  • Transfer the cookie batter to the piping bag, and twist the top of the piping bag tightly to secure the batter inside. Tip: place the piping bag in another one to create a double layer. This prevents the batter from breaking the bag and flowing out while piping.

Bake the cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 150ºC.
  • In a baking tray lined with parchment paper, pipe rosettes by making a tight circle. This recipe makes 20-22 cookies.
  • Bake the cookies at 150ºC for 30-40 minutes, then increase the heat to 180ºC, and bake for 2-3 more minutes for browning.
