Using a tablespoon measuring spoon or small melon ball scooper, scoop out small balls of dough; place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Using the bottom of a water glass or mason jar, gently press down on each ball of dough

until it flattens out a little. Do not smash too thin. They should be about 1/4 inch in

thickness. If you're using cookie cutters, now is the time to cut them!
