6) Pour 3/4 of each capsule or mold.
7) Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to medium-high and continue baking for 8 to 10 minutes. To find out if they are ready, pinchalos with a stick (which should come out clean), or play them on the surface. If they are fluffy, they are ready.

Are exquisite also, dusted with powdered sugar, whipped cream or direct from the oven. But like all good things can be better (especially if butter or sugar involved), come with jelly and cream!

Use frosting undiluted early decorate their cookies. Put the icing on a parchment bag or other pastry bag fitted with a coupler and a tip # 3. Outline your cookie; this will act as a fence or a door for the icing flow and avoid running over the side of the cookie. You can use a brush dipped in water to soften the breaks in icing or to smooth peaks in the final design points.

5
Add in the flow towards the center of the cookie after the contours are made. The flow should soften itself.
