- In a small skillet over medium-high heat, toast the rye flour until it is fragrant and a few shades darker, about 5 minutes, making sure that you're stirring often.

- Place your dough in the fridge overnight, or at a bare minimum for thirty minutes - this helps add to the texture, flavor and spreading of the cookie when they are ready to bake.
- Prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the cookies about 2-inches apart on your baking sheets.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and one sheet at a time, bake your cookies until the edges are firm and the centers are soft, about 12-14 minutes.
- Cool your cookies on a wire rack, pour yourself a hefty glass of milk, dunk and enjoy!
