• 4 place dough onto plastic wrap and form into a roll 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.
• 5 wrap roll and chill in the fridge for a couple hours or until firm.
• 6 slice roll into 1/4 inch slices and place onto lightly greased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart. these should not spread too much as they cook.
• 7 bake for about 10 minutes or until just barely golden around the edges.
• 8 cool for a couple minutes and then gently remove from pan and cool on a cookie rack.
• 9 they are light, crisp and decadently delicate once cooled.
• 10 notes: if you want to be fancy--you can drizzle dark chocolate on top once they are done or dip them to get something similar to a good peperidge farm cookie. i have also been lazy and formed circles by hand instead of chilling. you can also add a couple drops of food coloring for a fun twist.
