- Take it out of the fridge and divide the dough in multiple rolls of 1 inch diameter.
- Cut of little pieces of each roll and roll them by hand into a U-shaped form.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the Cones on a baking tray (laid out with parchment paper) and bake them for about 10-15 minutes.

Don't make them too big. Less dough, the better they will be.
