Instructions dark orange shortbread biscuits – cooking
- After the resting time lightly flour a work surface and roll out half of the dough. Put the other half back in the fridge. Roll out the dough to a height of 2 – 5 mm. Using the cookie cutter, cut out the desired shapes and place them on a baking pan covered with baking paper. Work the remaining dough briefly and let it rest it in the fridge while you use the other part. Proceed in this way until you have used all the dough.
- Bake your cookies in preheated static oven at 180 ° C for 8 – 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool down completely.
