When baking them, I’ll preheat the oven to 160C and go away them in there for 17 minutes. When baking the cookies, I don’t like placing greater than three on a tray at a time, because the cookies will unfold when within the oven.
As soon as baked, I go away them to chill on the tray for no less than half-hour as they’ll proceed to bake while cooling. In the event you attempt to transfer them earlier than this time, they are going to collapse.
