Heat the conventional oven to 180 °C. Roll between baking paper to about 5 mm. Cut discs of 4 cm and make holes in half with a 1 cm cutter. Gather scraps and repeat. Make equal numbers of plain and holed discs for about 50 sandwich cookies. Place on lined trays, slightly spaced.

Bake each tray for 10 minutes at 180 °C until the edges are only lightly golden, without browning. Bake all the dough in successive batches. Carefully transfer to a rack and cool the final tray for 30 minutes until completely cold. Earlier trays cool while later ones bake.
