- Wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 375º, spray cookie sheets with butter-flavored cooking spray.
- Cut cold log into about 1/4" slices. It's ok if you can't slice that thin.
- Bake for 8 minutes or til lightly browned on top.
- Cool on cookie sheets for 4 minutes.
- Then remove from cookie sheets, and cool the rest of the way on wire racks.
- When cool, mix glaze ingredients well using as much or little milk as needed for a thick yet pipeable consistency.
- Pipe glaze over each cookie.

HINT:
- Be careful when rolling this dough. If it starts to crack, smooth them. Roll slowly.
- Also, I found it easier when you slice them, let the slice rest on the knife when moving them to the cookie sheet. If they fall apart a bit, don't fret, just push them back together! They bake up just fine!
- Makes 3-4 dozen.

These are relly not easy to roll! I had to rolled out the dough on the silicon sheet and used a spatula to lift the dough from the sheet. I also used 2 tablespoon flour more as the dough was too sticky. I had really big eggs, this is maybe the reason but not only...I rolled it out surely thinner.<br/>I divided the dough into two parts and rolled out into two thinner rectangles of 5 to 20 inches. I got 75 pieces of 3 inches each. <br/>I prepared the half of the glaze as this is enough for me.<br/>They came out beautiful and the flavour is delicious.Reply
