Spoon dough onto plastic wrap; flatten to a 1 1/2-inch thickness.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap; chill 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Roll dough to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a heavily floured surface.
Cut dough into 20 (3-inch) squares using a sharp knife.
Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until golden.
Immediately remove cookies from pans using a wide spatula, and cool on wire rack.
