With the special pastry cutter, obtain many cookies of the desired shape: flower, heart, star, circle, etc. ..
  6. Arrange the biscuits on the baking tray, taking care to distance them slightly from each other to prevent them from sticking together when they swell up during cooking.

  The right idea
  To make the cookies more elegant, you can cover them with a chocolate glaze or with a simpler water glaze, made up of sugar, water and dye. To make them refined, you can embellish the cookies with beads or dip each half in the melted chocolate.
