lay parchment paper on cookie sheet
and shape dough into a loaf and flatten out a bit till its about
3/4 of an inch thick. you can really make them
any size you want. i made them small for gifts at Christmas
but very large this time around.

Bake for about 25 minutes ( again. . adjust for size )
or till feels firm.

Take out and let cool for 15 minutes and then
with a serrated knife slice diagonally and lay back on
parchment. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes
or till nice and "dry" .

Cool completely before storing.
Enjoy best with a nice mug tea or coffee or a dish of ice cream!

This is the way i started organizing all my random recipes
a few years ago and it is fantastic. If you are like me
and you collect recipes from all over on any and every
scrap of paper. .or napkin. . or envelope! .. .this makes it easy to
keep such things in an organized fashion.
