For best results, ensure the dough is rolled out as thinly as possible. This will result in the crispiest cookies. If you don't have a deep fryer, a large, heavy-bottomed pot works just as well. Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even cooking. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. Experiment with different shapes by using cookie cutters or simply cutting the dough into squares or diamonds.
