7. After the logs have chilled for a minimum of 3 hours, take out of the tubes.
8. Slice the log into 1/2” thick cookies.  Remember to roll the log about 1/8 after each slice to prevent the log from flattening from the weight of the knife.  Keeps the cookies round with each slice.
9. Place the cookies on parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Leave about 1” between cookies.
