My mom used to make these and she would roll them out with a decorative rolling pin and let them dry over night and cut them apart then bake them. They would be hard when they were first baked and she would box them up in a tin and let them soften for a couple of weeks and let the flavor develop. She would keep some plain and ice a few. Soooo good. Mine have never tasted like hers and I lost my recipe. Wish I had some this Xmas.
