They look neat and innocent enough, but you should have seen me pipe out the dough onto the tray. The nozzle I used was far too narrow, and the dough was far too thick to be squeezed out of it, but once you've put everything nicely into a piping bag you don't feel like digging everything out to change the nozzle and start again, people who've piped stuff should know how I feel.
So I persevered.
I actually started sweating, and had to stand up, turn on the fan, use both hands and all my available muscles to push the darned stuff out of the bag. I was shaking like a leaf from exertion and at the end of it I couldn't even unclamp my hands from the bag because they were cramped in that position. It's quite hard to explain but every little line and turn in the cookie had me tortured.
Hahaha I am such a weakling.
But they turned out good, just like Marks and Spencers. Yum. (:
