Today I had guests for lunch, so I decided to make these delicious cocoa whipped shortbread cookies. They are delicious, simple, and addictive. The preparation is extremely simple, you only need a stand mixer but also the traditional electric whisks.
They are ready in no time. I used a cookie press but a common piping bag works just as well. Try them, they are really delicious and indulgent.
