  9. By the end of refrigertion, the butter in the dough gets solidified making it bit tight
  10. Preheat the oven at 375F for atleast 10 mins
  11. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or we can place it in ungreased cookie sheets directly
  12. Take a part of the dough and roll into a ball, place on a big butter paper / parchment sheet and cover it with another sheet and with the help of rolling pin, roll it into a circle of atleast 0.5 cm thickness
  13. Using a cookie cutter / any circular lid, cut into circles
  14. Using fork / back of the spoon, make some stripes
  15. Place them on the cookie tray and bake for around 10-15 mins until the edges started to get browned
  16. Once its done, remove it from the tray after 3-4 mins and place it on wire rack to cool down

  17. Then store it in airtight container
  18. I guess we can store it for a week to 10 days if its still there:)
