Prep Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 15-20 minus

Ingredients

Butter,  room temperature     250g
Icing sugar                               100g
Egg                                             2
All purpose flour                      350g
Chocolate (for decorating)    150g


Instruction

1) Preheat Oven to 350F.
2) In a bowl, using an electrical mixer to cream soft butter and sugar until well combined.
3) Sifted in flour, mixed well. Beat in egg one at a time, mixed well.
4) Assembled piping bag and piping tip. Put dough in a piping bag.
5) Placed baking paper on a baking pan, piped a straight line/ rose shape or  dots to create patterns.
6) Baked for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
7) Removed cookies from baking pan, let cool for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, get prepared to melt  chocolate.
8) Using a double boiler methods to melt chopped chocolate until it reached liquid consistency.
9) Two methods to decorate: a) dipped cookies in chocolate batter or used a spoon to pour chocolate on top of cookies. b) Used a piping bag to create thin chocolate lines or patterns on cookies, using a piping bag can create chocolate drizzle very nicely.
10) If you wish to decorate cookies with  chocolate, make sure to do it before chocolate cools down, I would finish chocolate coating/ dipping in a small batch, and then sprinkle some granola, almond slices ( it can be anything, such as marshmallow etc.) on top, before coating chocolate on second batch of cookie.
11) Dusted icing sugar on surface if you wanted
12) Ready to serve!
