Bake for about 10-14 minutes or until the logs are firm. 9. Let cookies cool COMPLETELY in the pan before removing them to a rack (they will break if moved when warm!). 10.

Holding the cookie in the middle, repeat with the other end of the cookie. 13. Place on waxed paper to set. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
