Screenshots saved make great treats

Once upon a time I saw a video online of someone making this recipe. They tossed the recipe card up on the screen, I took a screen shot and decided some day I'd make them. That day was last Saturday. Sometimes you just need a baking challenge and that was mine. Turns out these are really easy to make. The dough came together very easily and while I wasn't sure how to form the 12-in roll, I figured it out, flattened them too. They really spread out way more than I thought they would - but cutting them apart was easy with a bench scrapper. I suppose you could use a pizza cutter too but the bench scrapper was easy, I sprayed it with a little vegetable oil and it worked well. Add the drizzle of almond icing when they are cool and these are great.
