Critical Success Points

  • Whisking the yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and foamy
  • Ensuring the dough is thoroughly chilled (first 1 h 30 min and again before baking)
  • Cutting the cookies with the cutter left on top to prevent spreading
  • Freezing the cut cookies before baking to maintain shape

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot baking sheet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Use a sharp cutter carefully to prevent cuts.
  • Do not leave the oven unattended while the cookies are baking.
