My son has been asking for cookies the whole week, as usual I did my research on simple cookies recipes. I saw one recipe by Wanjiku Lucia that uses batter. I went to the shop and bought a big nozzle. I got home all excited, I waited for my son to arrive from school at 4pm so that we could do the cookies together.
When I took the piping bag, I realized it was smaller in size, it couldn't work with a bigger nozzle. I had to look for another recipe that doesn't require a nozzle... That's when I came across this recipe...
