After the resting time, knead the dough again with your hands to form a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
For each cookie, take a teaspoon of dough and form equally sized balls.
Using a fork, press the balls once, then press them a second time crossing the fork’s indentation pattern.
Sprinkle the cookies with granulated sugar and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Or in the air fryer basket.
Bake the cookies in the oven at 340°F for 15 minutes. Or in the air fryer at the same temperature, making sure to turn them after 10 minutes and continue cooking.
