Butter & Chocolate Cookie Variations Butter Cookie Box

Butter and Chocolate Cookies are on the menu in Book recipe, and we are going to teach you how to make this delicious recipe from scratch!

Cookie Box – This is literally my first time making, so many variety patterns of cookies. I made a post on my favorite butter cookie last couple of weeks. That was just one variation. In this video post, I am showing you how to prepare dough for both piping/squeezing and roll-out cookie dough. And also both butter and chocolate cookie variations. Super easy, I hope you are inspired to bake with me at this time. By the way, it’s Chinese New Year next week, and I am baking lots of cookies and cake to give away. Enjoy!

FAQ:

What’s the difference between egg white and egg yolk in cookies?
By adding egg whites, the cookie’s outcome will be more crispy and firm; whereas adding egg yolk the cookies will be more moist, hence softer.
