The Danescook cookie mold creates a beautiful, intricate pattern on the dough which will make your guests impressed.

3.	Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until the dough comes together.
4.	Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
5.	Press the dough into the Danescook cookie mold and level out the surface.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
