5. Roll the dry mix tablespoon by tablespoon into rolls and gently make a small dimple on the top if each little roll. No worries if it cracks a little, more space for icing sugar later. Meanwhile you are preparing the second tray (if you bake them in the same time) pop the first tray of rolls into the fridge, so they don't warm up.
6. On the 2nd and 4th shelf of the oven bake the cookies for 15-20 mon, depends of your oven. They should have a very faint golden tint. Make sore you don't overtake them.
