Scale
  • 1 1/4 c. Cara’s All-Purpose Flour Blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat your over to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.

  3. Roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper until 1/8′ thick. Cut into 2″ circles.
  4. Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to fully cool on the baking sheet.
  5. Mix the chocolate coating together until smooth and dip each cookie fully until coated. Allow to set on wax paper and freeze for 10 minutes until set.
