Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my cookies spreading too much?

The butter was too soft or warm. Chill the piped cookies for 10 to 15 minutes before baking so they keep their shape.

Can I make these cookies without Rooh Afza?

Yes. Use a drop of rose water or rose essence for the flavour and the optional pink colour for the look.
