Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 day ahead of time.
How to Reheat: Place them in a baking dish covered in foil and bake at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until softened and warm. You can also heat them on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave until soft and warm.
How to Store: Cover them and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well covered in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
You can also bake these on a foil-lined cookie sheet tray or even a Silpat.
These are best served warm but can still be enjoyed cool or at room temperature.
Instead of using a spoon, you can also use a whisk when making the dough.
