x 8-inch roll (2.5 x 20 cm). (Hint: Make dough rolls on
waxed paper. Pick up ends of waxed paper and roll dough
back and forth to get a nicely shaped roll.) Place 3 inches
(7 cm) apart on ungreased baking sheet.

forth over cooled cookie. Sprinkle with nuts before
chocolate hardens, if desired.
7. Cut diagonally in l-inch (2.5 cm) slices. Makes: 40
slices Note: To harden chocolate quickly, place cookies
in refrigerator for a few minutes.
TIP: For even baking use shiny, heavy-gauge aluminum
baking sheets and make all cookies on the same sheet
approximately the same size.
