    Preheat oven to 300° F and line half sheet tray with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Gradually sift in flour until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Firmly press dough into flattened 6-inch oval in center of sheet tray. Cut dough into 16 equal-sized slices and pierce each slice with fork in decorative design (be sure to pierce through to pan to allow excess to escape).

  5. 5

  6. 6

    Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Retrace cuts in dough to loosen cookies but allow to remain on sheet tray to fully cool (do not move cookies as they are very fragile at this stage).
