Instruction manual

You can start decorating even at the stage of dough preparation. For example, mix cocoa or grated chocolate in a shortbread dough for cookies. When baking, you get the effect of "chess" or "marble" cookies. And if you add finely chopped almonds and walnuts to the dough itself, then these intersperses will look amazing in the structure of cookies. The same effect will give the zest of lemon and orange, finely chopped candied fruits.

If you connect two cookies of the same size together, previously having missed the filling with jam, and pour chocolate icing on top and sprinkle lightly with ground nutmeg or cinnamon, you will get almost a cake. Until the chocolate has frozen, you can cover with chopped emerald pistachios, candied fruits.
