The crackle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.

You can make bite-size cookies by rolling the dough into smaller balls.

These rich cookies should seem a bit soft when you take them out of the oven. They firm as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them.

The recipe for these delicious cookies comes from food writer and cookbook author Carolynn Carreño.

If desired, use a small ice-cream scoop for uniform-size cookies. To make a cookie tart, press 3 cups of this dough into a buttered and sugared 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom or a 9-inch pie tin lined with buttered, sugared parchment. Bake at 325°F until the edges are golden and the center is almost set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes, and remove from the pan. (Bake the remaining dough as cookies at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes.)

We cut the dough into assorted shapes using 2- to 4-inch cookie cutters.

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
