- Bake about 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cutting board.
- Cut rectangles crosswise into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices, cut side down, on cookie sheet.

* If using 2 cookie sheets, switch placement of sheets halfway through baking; if baking 1 rectangle at a time on one cookie sheet, refrigerate other half of dough while first rectangle bakes.
