AD | "On the whole, I’m not a person much given to cutesiness but, looking at these cookies, I wouldn’t blame you for not believing me.

As for the hole you make in the top cookie, I use the wide end of a Tala icing nozzle.” “On the whole, I’m not a person much given to cutesiness but, looking at these cookies, I wouldn’t blame you for not believing me.
