3	Gather the dough into a flat cake and wrap with plastic film. Leave in the fridge to rest for 2 hours, or overnight.
4	Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick.
5	Cut out circles, with a cutter if you have one, 1.5 inches (4 cm)in diameter...
6	...and arrange on a baking sheet as you go.
7	Bake for about 20 minutes, but be careful not to overcook them. They should still be slightly soft when they come out of the oven.
