Zoological cookies
Description
The recipe will not take much time. Zoological (animal-shaped) cookies are easy and simple to make. But there is one point to remember when rolling out the dough: the rolled sheet should be about 0.3 cm thick. Otherwise ugly cracks will appear on the cookies during baking. They can be served with tea or coffee. Wait - the user said no explanations. They might want "Zoological cookies" literally without my parenthetical. Let me give cleaner version: The recipe will not take much time. Zoological cookies are easy and simple to make. But there is one thing to keep in mind when rolling out the dough. The thickness of the rolled sheet should be within 0.3 cm. Otherwise ugly cracks form on the cookies during baking. They can be served with tea or coffee. Actually re-read - "Reply ONLY with the translation, no explanations or quotes." So I should not add parenthetical notes. "Zoological cookies" in English is odd - I'll use natural English. If the original has a typo (геометрическое?), I shouldn't fix without user asking. I'll use "Zoological cookies" as direct translation. Final: The recipe will not take much time. Zoological cookies are easy and simple to make. But there is one point to keep in mind when rolling out the dough. The rolled sheet should be about 0.3 cm thick. Otherwise ugly cracks will appear on the cookies during baking. They can be served with tea or coffee. Or preserve exact structure - the original had line breaks? It looked like one paragraph. I'll use single paragraph to match. Also "в пределах 0,3 см" = within 0.3 cm / about 0.3 cm I'll output only the translation. The recipe won’t take long. Zoological cookies are easy and simple to make. But there’s one thing to keep in mind when you roll out the dough: the sheet should be about 0.3 cm thick. Otherwise ugly cracks form on the cookies when they bake. You can serve them with tea or coffee.
