Beat soft butter until smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
Gradually add powdered sugar or finely crystallized sugar to the butter, whisking.
Add the yolks with a pinch of salt. Beat.
Sift the cornstarch and baking powder into the flour. Mix. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg-cream mixture. Mix with a spatula.
Form the finished dough into a ball. Wrap in cling film. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
After half an hour, remove the dough from the refrigerator and transfer it to a work surface. Roll out the dough, covering it with plastic wrap, to a thickness of 0.5 cm.
Using a stencil or a regular sharp knife and a handy tool, cut out cookie shapes from the rolled out dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cookies on it. Bake in a preheated oven at 200–220 degrees Celsius until done.
Decorate the cooled cookies with chocolate and regular icing, creating a pattern in the form of willow branches.
