    Piped Cookies is one of the classic New Zealand bakery essential. You can see it everywhere.

    Whats interesting about these Piped Cookies is that once the cookies or biscuits are piped and baked; an icing is made which is then sandwiched in between the cookies.

    These are then dipped into melted chocolate..

    Phew thats way too much sugar I must say..

    To be honest I do not like it that the way; I prefer the simple biscuits with some tea thats it.

    Piped Cookies is a lot similar to the butter biscuits that we get in India.

    In fact it is exactly the same just a different name.

    These Piped Cookies are a light, crispy, crumbly and oh so buttery biscuits that has a good snap to it.

    These Piped Cookies are more of a paler biscuits as compared to the usual golden biscuits that we make.

    It is more often baked to a point where it turns golden brown around the edges but remains paler in the centre.

    Notes:

    1. Do not beat the butter and sugar for too long or else they will spread while baking and lose their shape.

    2. The cookies straight out of the oven are soft. Let them cool a bit to crisp up. Do not over-bake them thinking that they are soft.

    3. Do refer my video to note the exact method of baking in the pressure cooker and also the difference of baking time in the oven.

      The consistency of the mix was way too thick! Could barely get it piped out. I measured everything correctly and beat for 4 mins . I think there's too much flour.

      Hi, after searching for a long time I landed on your blog and I want to try and bake these cookies for my boyfriend. I was wondering if I could make the dough 2 days ahead of time if possible?
      Thank you so much!

        Hi Pamita.. No you cannot make it ahead of time, the dough will harden in the fridge and you won't be able to pipe properly.

        February 08, 2018 at 6:07 am

        Hi benis..

        We use icing sugar here because it would easily and quickly blend with butter.. if you use normal sugar you would need to beat the butter and sugar for a longer time which would incorporate air into the batter making it to spread a lot while baking. Due to this the rosettes will lose its shape..

        so I would recommend using icing sugar. You can try powdering the regular sugar and add cornstarch to it to make it icing sugar and then use it.. 🙂

        Thank you

        Hi Nivedita..

        It is the same if you buy it commercially.. but if you are powdering your sugar at home then you will have to add some cornstarch to it.. 🙂

        Thanks you..

      Thank you so much for the recipe! I'm super excited to try this out! :))
      I just had one doubt, can I line the inside of my piping bag with few streaks of Nutella so the cookies get a little brown as well?? I don't know if this is a good idea, but it just came to my mind🙈

        Yes ofcourse you can line the inside with some nutella and try.. it would taste delicious but you won't get that bakery taste but if you like chocolate then definitely go for it..

        And yes please do share how it turned out for you.. 😀

        Hi Megha.. use good quality piping bag.. or if you are not comfortable piping rosettes then start with simple star shaped that I have shown in this piped biscuits video.. or just forget piping, make a round shaped regular cookie if you wish to dear..

        Do not give up though you will get it someday.. <3

        Hi Priya..

        I always find it difficult to convert butter into cup measurement.. I mean someone might chop the butter fine some little big some med so can't really tell whats its like in cups. You can however use google conversion chart for converting the recipe which I used to do in my initial days of baking which is not a fool proof way but it still works..

        sorry for not being much of use here..

        Thank you.. 🙂

          In order to measure a cup of butter, fill a measuring jug will cold water up to 2 cup level mark. Add butter until water reaches the 3 cup level. You then have 1 cup of butter after draining the water

            Hi Carol..

            Learned something new and different. But won't the water affect the batter consistency; even though it is drained off completely.
