P. S. If you'd like, cut the 18 slices of dough with a floured horse cookie cutter (about 3x2 inches to cut out cookies.)

Bake as directed. Repeat by forming another bar of dough. Chill, cut and bake makes about 30 cookies by doing it this way.

Have tried few of the recipes you submitted. To save all of your time and typing why not just print the address where readers can purchase their own copy of the ALPHA cook book. I, for one, would love to have it. Thanks M.
