How to Tell It's Done
- until the cookies are golden at the edges
Tips
- Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
- Roll with damp hands: the soft dough won't stick, and the balls come out smooth.
Common Mistakes
- Cookies that look too soft coming out of the oven firm up as they cool. Take them out when just the edges are golden.
- Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
More Ways
- Ball cookies with regular flour: 2 cups flour, 100 g ground almonds, 100 g powdered sugar and 200 g soft butter, no eggs.
- Dust the cookies with powdered sugar once they have cooled a little.
