- To expedite the process of cutting the biscuits by hand, place them in a zip bag and smash them with a heavy object or a pin roller.
- Avoid using a food processor to break the cookies, it’s best to keep them in small pieces rather than fully crushed.
- You can add an extra layer of foil paper to wrap each log before placing it in the freezer. Foil paper also can help with shaping the log aiming for a smooth edge.
- Biscuits is a common word for cookies, used in the Middle East and other European countries.
- Foil tends to stick to the chocolate and it'll be hard to unwrap. It is best to use wrapping or parchment paper first then wrap with foil.
