Step 12
Form the cookies from this dough. I pinched off small pieces of dough weighing about 15 grams each, rolled them into balls with my fingers, and made indentations using the blunt side of a knife to imitate coffee beans—this can be seen in the photo. Place all the cookie pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes.
