Wrap each column in <span style="background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; background-position: transparent 0%" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1260131174_1">wax paper</span> and chill until firm (about 1 hour). When firm, use a sharp knife to slice into cookies about 1/8 inch thick. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes. Tip: Do not let the cookies get brown in oven as they tend to crumble. Recipe makes 6 dozen. Store in airtight container. They freeze well too.</font></p> <p align="center"> </p> </body> </html> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://l.yimg.com/d/lib/smb/js/hosting/cp/js_source/whv2_001.js"></script><script language="javascript">geovisit();</script><noscript><img src="http://visit.webhosting.yahoo.com/visit.gif?us1338229369" alt="setstats" border="0" width="1" height="1"></noscript>
