On a greased and floured baking sheet pat out into two logs about 1/2 inch high, 1.5 inches wide and 14 inches long, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake in the middle of a 325F oven for 25 min or possibly till lightly browned. Transfer from the baking sheet to a rack. Let cold for 5 min. Place on a cutting board. With a serrated knife slice diagonally at a 45 degree angle about 1/2 inch thick. Lay the slices flat on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 10 min longer, turning them over once, to dry slightly. Let cold on a rack. Store in a tightly covered container. These cookies keep well.
