Form a dough ball and then roll it into a 1 1/2 inch thick log. Wrap the dough in a cling film and place in a fridge for couple of hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F).
Take the dough out of the fridge and let it sit for few minutes on a counter if it’s too hard.
Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into about 1/3 inch thick cookies. Place the cookies onto a lined baking sheet leaving enough space between each one.
Bake cookies for 12-17 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn golden.
