(It is similar to working with a Graham Cracker por Cookie Crust). Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Cool on cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. Slice into about 1/2 thick slices along the 3 inch side. Turn the slices on their sides on a clean cookie sheet. Bake a second time for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are crisp and lightly browned. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes on the cookie sheet, then move to wire racks and allow to cool at least another 10 minutes. Alternate flavors or extracts can be used. Store in an airtight container. Should keep well. (These are frequently served with coffee, however you may also serve them with tea, milk, warm milk, pudding, hot chocolate, ice cream, Moscato, or Amaretto).
