Method

  1. Combine all ingredients in an appropriately sized mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon by hand until stiff, adding a bit more flour as needed.

    Don’t use a stand mixer! The mixed dough is very firm and sticky!

  2. Refrigerate overnight before baking.

  3. Preheat oven to 375F / 190C convection.

  4. Form the dough into balls and roll in sugar to coat. Place evenly spaced on a baking tray, keeping cold until they go into the oven.

  5. Bake for 5 minutes, then rotate the tray and bake for another 4 minutes before removing from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 1 minute before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
