3.3 Forming the cookies
Prepare the baking dish: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the cookies: Use an ice cream scoop or a piping bag to form small mounds of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. You can also shape them into a round or teardrop shape, depending on your preference.
3.4 Bake
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake: Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.
3.5 Refrigerate and serve
Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Decorate: If desired, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving. 4. Black Cherry Cookie Variations
