Und so geht's:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C top/bottom heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the dough: Cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in the eggs one at a time, then beat creamy again for 2 minutes. Mix the flour with the baking powder and cornstarch, add it in, and stir with the milk into a smooth dough.

3. Portion the dough: Using two spoons, place small mounds of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving enough space between them. Shape the mounds slightly round with the back of a spoon.

4. Bake: Bake for approx. 8-10 minutes, until the bottom is lightly golden brown. Then let cool completely.

1. Prepare the icing: Stir the powdered sugar with lemon juice or water until smooth, optionally tinting with a bit of food coloring.

2. Prepare the clown hat: Melt your Happy Drip as directed on the bottle.

   Using the liquid drip, draw a small, pointed clown hat onto parchment paper and add stripes or dots as you like. For the pompom tip, simply add a small dot of drip on top. Then chill until set.

3. Attach the clown hat: Spread a little Creamy White Drip on one side of the Amerikaner cookie and carefully press the set hat onto it.

4. Create the sprinkle mane: Immediately sprinkle your favorite sprinkles (here e.g. Spread Love) onto the still-soft white drip – that becomes the colorful clown hair! 🎉

5. Create the face: Draw two small dots with the Creamy White Drip for eyes.
   
   Using a bit of black drip or a food coloring pen, draw in the pupils – a sweet batting of eyelashes included!

6. For the wide clown smile, simply draw a curved mouth with black drip – it's best to add two small chocolate balls at the corners of the mouth right away.

7. Add the nose: A dot of Shiny Orange Drip in the middle – then place a colorful chocolate ball on top: the classic clown nose is done! 🤡🍬
