# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The dill pickle flavor gets into every crispy corner making these impossibly addictive
- They take fifteen minutes tops but taste like something much more complicated
02 -
- These need to cool completely before serving or they will not achieve that perfect crunch
- Do not skip the parchment paper because the butter can cause sticking on bare baking sheets
03 -
- Whisk the butter mixture really well to ensure the spices do not clump together
- Work quickly once you start brushing because the butter can start to solidify
