  6. Scoop the dough into 1- or 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Drizzle the top of the dough with extra paste
  8. Freeze the dough balls for 30 minutes or until firm.
  9. Place frozen dough balls directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden, and the centers are still slightly soft (I recommend baking on the top rack)
