  sugar for 2-3 minutes, starting at medium speed and gradually going to high
  speed.

  zest and Orange zest, ½ teaspoon Baking powder, and 8.8 oz Cake flour (by the
  spoonful.)
• 4 If the dough becomes too tough for your mixer, mix the rest of the flour by
  kneading it with your hands, making sure to stop as soon as the flour gets
  incorporated into the dough evenly.
• 5 Fill the dough into a piping bag with a Wilton 4B tip.
• 6 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 7 Start piping those yummy cookies on the prepared sheet.
• 8 Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 C / 356 F until they brown.
