- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Slice the dough into slices about 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake on top rack for 16 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
- Gently remove the cookies with a spatula and allow to cool on a wire rack.
These cookies will delight young and old alike and will vanish in plain sight... Crispy, they can be stored for several days in a terracotta, ceramic or metal cookie jar. Great gift idea too!
