1. Preheat oven to 170°C and line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the milk.
4. Combine flour, cornflour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
5. Add dry ingredients gradually to form a soft, smooth dough (thick but pipeable).
6. Pipe dough using a star nozzle into desired shapes on the tray.
7. Decorate with sprinkles or a piece of glacé cherry in the center.
8. Bake until edges turn lightly golden.
9. Cool completely before handling and serving.
