Recipe

Mix all ingredients together like pie dough. On well floured surface, roll out dough. It will be a little sticky, but once you have the flour on the dough it will roll out easily. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick (no thinner). Use round cookie cutter, lightly spray cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. (depending on your preference, you may only want to bake for 9-10 minutes.) Take from oven, sprinkle small amount of sugar on tops. Store in an airtight container.
