Preheat Oven 150C
Cream the butter and sugar to light yellow. Do not overbeat or the cookies will fall flat in the oven.
Add in the sifted flours and fold in quickly and gently.
Pipe the cookies using the star nozzle. This recipe makes about 45 cookies.
Place piped cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes to set. Don't skip this step! When you touch the cookies, they should be firm.
Bake at 150C for 20 - 30 minutes. Don't let it turn too brown.
Optional: Bake another 3 minutes at 180C to brown the cookies.
Alternative: For chocolate cookies, replace 20% of the flour with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Tips: always use the best butter you can afford (high percentage of fat) and pipe quickly as the batter gets harder and harder.
