  3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet.
  6. Press an indentation into the center of each ball with your thumb.
