5. 5

   To bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and adjust the oven rack to the center position.

6. 6

   On a parchment-paper covered baking sheet, form the dough into 1 1/2-inch tall pointed mounds, squeezing the dough with your fingertips to form little pyramids.

7. 7

   Bake the cookies for 14 minutes or until the cookies are browned up the sides, rotating the baking sheet midway through baking (the tips may burn slightly, which is fine).
