  • The dough now is probably crumbly and does not hold together very well, but do not worry. Shape it into a flat disk, wrap it in a plastic foil, and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  • Roll the dough on the baking pan ½ inch thick. It still acts crumbly at this point but will hold together once baked and cooled down. Try shaping a square.Cut out 12 or more rectangle-shaped cookies.
