- To bake
- Preheat oven to 175 degree celsius. Line cookie sheet with lightly oiled parchment paper.
- Scoop about 80-100 g of dough onto baking sheet. Sprinkle salts on top of them.
- Bake until golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. The middle part of cookies will still be soft, but will harden on standing. Leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Continue with the rest of the dough or refrigerate for later baking.
- Store baked cookies in airtight containers when completely cooled.
