  • 3. Preheat the oven up to 175 degrees. Take one piece of the dough, roll it out to 4-5 mm, cut out figurines. If the dough crumbles, let it warm up for 3-4 minutes.
  • 4. Roll out the rest of the dough and cut out all the cookies.
  • 5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cookies, do not overcook! Cookies will be soft at the beginning, then they will harden as they cool down.
