Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown.
Około 15 min

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: The cookies will be delicate when hot, so letting them firm up on the sheet prevents breaking.
