So usually brunsli are really annyoing to make because they stick to your cookie cutters and then they brake when you try to move them and it’s all very tiring.
This is the solution!
Make balls instead of flat stars and hearts! This way you don’t need to roll the dough out, you don’t need to make unstable flat shapes. And due to their thickness they stay moist inside while being crunchy on the outside – win win win 🙂
