Notes

• 
  Place cookies 4cm apart on prepared trays. Bake for 10-12 minutes until light golden. For even colouring, swap trays halfway through cooking time. If dough gets a little soft after rolling, place in fridge until firm enough to handle. If rolling dough, form dough into a disc. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.
