Cover the cylinders with a plastic wrap. Make sure to make a knot on both ends. Place the cylinders in the freezer for at least 1 hour before using them. 5- Once frozen remove the plastic wrap. Using a very sharp knife, cut the frozen cylinders into equal coins of 0.5 cm / 0,2 inches thickness. 6- Place the cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes until they turn golden. 7- Let the cookies cool down completely before tasting. As they cool down, they become crunchy.
