Spread thin in round shapes and place into a 375 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes. Only bake 2 cookies at a time. When the cookies are light golden brown remove from oven and allow to sit for a few seconds. With a flat pastry spatula remove cookies from pan and allow to cool on waxed paper. For added effect, drape cookies over a rolling pin and allow to harden to the shape of the pin. Repeat until all dough is gone.
