Another small batch baking recipe from <<每天都是饼干日>>.

++Notes001 // This cookie cutter will make the cookies look even nicer.

++Notes002 // I use Van Houten cocoa powder.  Recipe originally stated 4g, but I found it too much and dry out the dough.

++Notes003 // After cutting out first batch of star-shaped cookies, I still had a lot of dough left.   As I did not want to spoil the distinct marbled effect by gathering and kneading the remaining dough too much , I simply rolled and shape the remaining into a log. Wrap it with a plastic bag, and after chilling for 30minutes, the dough is ready to be sliced into 1cm  thick round cookies.  I then baked them the same way as per the recipe instructions.  (Last photo)
