When ready to bake, remove a bit at a time and work through it with hands to soften the dough. Use a rolling pin or pat flat with hands. A cookie cutter is your best option for nicely formed cookies. A Swedish traditional Christmas cookie, but with no flour, gluten or sugar! If making for kids or if you are not so sweet sensitive, add 2 tbs honey or agave syrip to the warm mixture.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet (non-stick) on a oven tray and bake in oven 200°C for around 7 minutes.
