Notes
- Make ahead. After combining the ingredients for the dough, roll into a log shape, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. When ready to bake, slice log into 1/4-inch slices, press candies on top of cookie and bake as directed. These will be shaped similarly to our icebox cookies.
