Let cookies stand on baking sheet until just firm enough to hold their shape, about 2 minutes. Gently loosen cookies 1 at a time with offset spatula and immediately drape over rolling pin. (If cookies become too brittle to drape onto rolling pin, return baking sheet to oven for a few seconds to soften.) Cool cookies completely on rolling pin, about 1 minute, then transfer to a platter. Make and shape more cookies with remaining dough.
