Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. With the steel blade, mix until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into 3 parts and shape each into a roll about 1 inch in diameter. Roll up in plastic wrap or waxed paper and chill until firm, 1 to 2 hours or longer.

Cover baking sheets with parchment. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the cookies 1/4-inch thick and place on baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until barely browned.
