Hi Xanti,
I tried out this recipe and the cookies were delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Glad you like them Nisha, thanks for sharing your feedback 🙂
Hi Xanti,
If I want the conversion to GM’s instead of cups, how much would I have to use? Especially butter?
Hi Tricia
1 cup butter is 225 grams.
please check the online weight converters available (google) to convert rest ingredients from cups to grams measure. A lot of converters available now on internet.
Do u pay the icing all through the cookie or use a piping bag to pipe?
I meant to say *apply (*pay) could not find a way to edit the comment so had to re post.
