  • Add flour mixture and mix until combined.
  • Dump out on a floured board and roll into a log.
  • Wrap and plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Slice and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Turn the cookie sheet and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • For a special treat - top with a whole pecan half prior to cooking
  • *you could also place in a cookie press with the ribbon flute instead of chilling and press out and then cook for the classic straw look!
  • Enjoy!
