Knead the dough again and again and roll out until the dough is used up. Spread the circles and rings on 3 baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven, middle shelf (electric oven: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) until golden yellow. Bake for 8-9 minutes, circles for about 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool down
