Notes

This recipe makes about 30 small cookies.
The cookies spread a bit so leave enough space between them.
If your dough is too soft , you can chill the dough for 20-30 minutes. When you use chilled dough, the pattern on top remains more prominent.
The longer your bake them , the browner they get and more crispier.
