To form the cookies, use a 1/4 cup scoop to portion the dough onto two parchment lined sheet trays.  Each tray should hold 12 cookies.  Sprinkle a little flaky salt over each ball of dough.  Chill for at least one hour before baking.  While the cookies are in the refrigerator, pre-heat the oven to 375ºF.  Bake the cookies for 20 minutes, rotating the trays half way through the bake.
