- Scoop small amounts of dough about the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking trays leaving some space between them, as they will spread during baking. Press each one lightly with a spoon to make them flatter.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes until slightly golden. Leave to rest on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
