I edited https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/146763-crispy-cut-out-cookies-that-you-can-cut-right-away for this recipe.

2
Using that recipe you can make easy molded cookies.
-
3
Take a look.
-
4
Microwave the butter for 10 seconds.
-
5
The butter should melt, but not be too hot.
-
6
Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 180C.
-
7
Add the cold milk, sugar, and vanilla essence to the butter, and stir them together.
-
8
Divide the mixture equally into two bowls, and add the food colouring into one of the bowls.
-
9
Mix 45g of the flour (or flour mixture) into each bowl.
-
10
60 g of cake flour, and 40 g of katakuriko will result in crisp and delicious cookies that are light.
-
11
Prepare a pastry bag so the end is wide open.
-
12
Put in the two colors of batter so they sit side by side in the bag.
-
13
It is okay if they mix a little.
-
14
If you have trouble getting the batter into the bag so it looks nice, try arranging the batter on a piece of plastic wrap.
-
15
Roll the wrap around the batter and press the two colors together, but don't seal the ends of the plastic wrap.
-
16
Now you can easily place the wrapped batter into the pastry bag.
-
17
There is also the added benefit of not getting your pastry bag all dirty.
-
18
Using a star tip, pipe out the dough into a spiral shape.
-
19
Make sure the oven is preheated to 180C (356 Fahrenheit).
-
20
You might want to decorate the center of the cookies with silver dragees, or other cute, edible decorations.
-
21
Bake the cookies at 180C (356 Fahrenheit) for 13-15 minutes, until they are done.
-
22
If you use a toaster oven they will brown more, but you can cook them at the highest setting for 10 minutes.
-
23
I usedto make cookies for the Girl's Day Festival.The Japanese flavour is so yummy, and the cookies are easy to make.
-
24
I made slightly more decorative cookies using.
-
25
I recommend trying this.
-
26
Some people have trouble piping out the roses, so here I will show you my method.
-
27
I bought both of these tips at the 100 yen store ($1).
-
28
I recommend using the pink tip, as the shape of the notches provides a sharper and cleaner shape.
-
29
Start from the middle and pipe the dough in a spiral shape outward.
-
30
I recommend weighing down your parchment paper so it doesn't move while you are piping.
-
31
Squeeze out the dough, holding the piping bag about 1cm from the parchment paper.
-
32
Once you have spiraled around once and are slightly past your starting point, stop squeezing and pull the bag away to break off the dough.
-
33
If the end of the dough sticks out use a finger to gently pat it into place.
-
34
If you squeeze too hard while finishing the spiral it may come out looking like this.
-
35
Gently pull the bag away to break the dough~
-
36
I recommend smoothing the end of the dough.
-
37
Since the dough is difficult to break, the end is cleaner if you gently pull the bag away.
