Roll dough to a 5 1/2-inch log. If necessary, wrap in plastic wrap and chill about 30 minutes or until firm enough to. Cut log into 1/2-inch slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise to make a half-moon shape. Place 1 inch apart on a ungreased cookie sheets. Prick cookies with a fork to make a segment pattern.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until bottoms just start to brown and centers are set. Remove; cool on a wire rack.
