3. While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350°F with the racks in the lower and upper
middle positions.
4. Once dough has chilled, remove from freezer and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Put the
demerara sugar into a shallow pan or plate and roll the dough so the sugar coats the
surface of the long sides.
5. Slice the dough into ¼-inch slices and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet,
leaving about ½ inch between cookies. (Chill any dough in the refrigerator that is not
being baked right away.)
6. Bake in the preheated oven until just golden at the edges, about 8 to 12 minutes.
Repeat with remaining cookies.
*If you are preparing the dough ahead of time, after forming the dough into the log it can
chill in the refrigerator instead of the freezer for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
