Tsum Tsum Winnie the Pooh, Piglet & Tigger Earl Grey Macarons

My friend wanted to surprise her sister with a Winnie the Pooh themed birthday treat so she requested for some Pooh themed macarons :) Pooh, Piglet and Tigger!

Orange Chocolate Sunflower Shortbread Cookies

The original recipe just uses icing sugar, butter and plain flour in a very easy to remember ratio of 1:2:3 by weight, and therefore very easily adaptable for scaling the quantity...
