  Roll out, making sure you have lots of flour on hand. As it warms up, it gets sticky again, so I had to roll with lots of additional flour. Cut out with the biscuit cutter Barb gave me.

  Fold over into a crescent shape, what I call a calzone, and push edges together. Put onto ungreased baking sheet.

  Bake at 375 degrees 20-23 min, until firm. Bottoms will be slightly browner than tops. Remove immediately from baking sheets. Put onto baking rack to cool.

  Make a glaze to your flavor preference, glaze cookies, let glaze harden before boxing up. Can also be frozen, but if you do, make sure to put wax paper between layers (that's how Grandma did it when she sent them to me!).
