  3. Fold and place in fridge for 30 min, then roll flat again and fold like an envelope and roll flat again and fold and place in fridge. Repeat this procedure at least 4 times but not more that 6 times. Each time whenever it gets sticky feel free to use flour and/or keep longer in the fridge.

  6. If you like to make sweet cookies, just roll the dough flat for about 7 mm thick and cut out rectengulars, deep in egg and sprinkle with sugar and top with tiny dot of jelly (don't use to much because it melts in the oven and floads aroud cookies not at the top).
  7. Bake in preheated oven, in 250 degrees, just couple of minutes till golden brown.
