Prepare baking sheets by greasing them with oil so that the biscuits do not stick to the sheet. Put the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet and make sure to keep a space of 1 inch between them. With the help of a glass, flatten the dough slightly. You can do this by using the bottom of a glass and applying pressure.
