I’ve made them a few more times, never using the two parchments. I roll the dough on a pliable ‘slab’ (Tupperware) to exactly the size of the baking sheet. Measure this with one parchment, simply cut excesses off and place them where missing. It neither sticks to my rolling pin (ca 100y old, wood) or heavily to said slab. Place the parchment on the baking sheet. Quickly flip the slab onto it so that the dough lies EXACTLY in place. Gently roll the slab off, letting the dough fall onto the parchment–no tool needed. Admittedly, this requires fairly long, adults’ arms and large hands.

I have made these a few times, yum! My kids and my husband love them. So, I decided to try the chocolate version today. Do you have to add extra liquid? The dough seemed drier and crumbled easier.
