Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the jumbles hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use parchment paper: This will prevent the jumbles from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the jumbles until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the jumbles hard and dry.
  • Let the jumbles cool completely before storing: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
