Weigh the egg precisely
25 g of scrambled egg are about half an egg of size M. A whole egg would make the small dough much softer.

Why this recipe works
Cold dough portions and space for spreading
The dough is divided into eight equal portions and cooled for thirty minutes. Four pieces per pass need enough space, as the cookies become wider when baking. A suitable flat baking plate or shape is necessary, which is permitted by the manufacturer of the equipment; a coarse open rack is unsuitable for soft cookie dough. Eight pieces give four snack portions with two cookies each.
