Cream together softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.

Add egg yolks and mix again.

Add double cream and vanilla extract to the mixture.

Incorporate the dry components: flour, corn flour, and salt; gently fold them in and mix until just combined.

Divide the dough into two halves: one for vanilla cookies and one for chocolate cookies.

For chocolate cookies, gently fold in cocoa powder until evenly incorporated.

Load the piping bag with one flavor at a time using an open star piping tip.

Line the baking pan to prevent sticking.

Pipe the dough onto the baking sheet in a circular motion, applying gentle pressure.

Place the piped cookies in the freezer until firm to prevent spreading during baking.

Bake the frozen cookies in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.

Let the cookies sit on the baking pan for about 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
