Butter Cookie Box | Butter & Chocolate Cookie Variations

Cookie Box - This is literally my first time making so many variety patterns of cookies. I made a video on my favourite butter cookie last couple weeks. That was just one variation. In this video I am showing you how to prepare a dough for both piping/squeezing and roll out cookie dough. And also both butter and chocolate cookie variations. Super easy, I hope you are inspired to bake with me at this time. By the way, it's Chinese New Year next week, and I am baking lots of cookies and cake to give away. Enjoy!

FAQ:
What's the difference between egg white and egg yolk in cookies?
By adding egg whites, the cookie's outcome will be more crispy and firm; whereas adding egg yolk the cookies will be more moist, hence softer.

What is the eggless option?
