5-Scoop and shape dough balls: Scoop out 8 equal dough balls, roll them in 1/3 cup finely crushed graham crackers, place them on the baking sheet, and gently flatten each to about half an inch thick.
6-Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, then let them cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
