Method: 

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and divide into six equal parts. Flour hands then form each lump of dough into a roll about 8 inches long. Wrap each roll in wax paper and place in freezer. Freeze for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Remove 1 roll from freezer, remove wax paper and slice each roll as thinly as possible. Return roll to freezer if it becomes too warm and soft, then proceed.  Place slices on an ungreased cookie shoot and bake until just slightly golden around the edges, about 6 minutes.  Repeat with remaining rolls of dough. Cool thorough and store in a tightly sealed container,Method
