  6. To Assemble
  7. For flat cookies, let cool completely. For curled cookies or cookie cups, let them cool for 2 minutes. Using a small spatula lift warm cookies and place them on a rolling pin to curl. Remove when cooled, about 2 minutes. If cookies harden before you finish curling, just warm for 30 seconds in the oven. For cups, place warm cookies over a small tartlette shell or ramekin and allow to cool.
