Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

- Shape the Cookies:
- Take 1-2 heaped tablespoons of cookie dough (approximately 60g each), roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking tray. Leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
