- Turn dough out onto two pieces of plastic wrap. Form a round log with each half about 2 inches in diameter, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
- Chill dough for at least two hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove plastic wrap, and slice dough into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place on cookie sheets that have silpats, parchment paper or are lightly greased. Keep dough that is not baking in the fridge so that it stays cold.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until they're just starting to turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Let cool 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove to cool completely on a wire rack. These keep in a sealed container for several days.
Notes
- These cookies do not spread a ton, so you can place them closer together than you can many other cookies. They puff up instead, which I like.
