Equipment

  2. Use a 3-tbsp scoop to place mounds of dough on a parchment-lined sheet.
Bake to Perfection
  1. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until edges are set.
  2. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes to let the glossy cracked top crust fully develop.
