Take the dough out from the plastic bag and roll it out with a rolling pin, into a roughly rectangular shape (about 50 cm x 40 cm, and 2 mm – or 1/16 inch – thick).
Cut the sheet of cookie dough into little 2 cm x 6 cm rectangles.
Put the leftover dough edges into a plastic bag to protect them from drying out.
