Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll them in your hands to form little balls. The size does not matter much; they will spread slightly on the baking sheet anyway. Place them at equal distances from each other. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the cookies for 15–20 minutes on the top rack.
