4. Preheat the oven to 375F. Roll the dough out to about ¼” thick. Cut the dough into half in strips and gently lay them out onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a Silpat. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pan for several minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
