Number Of Ingredients 13

1 batch Vanilla Dough, Chocolate Dough, Spice Dough, or Citrus Dough
Mix-Ins (choose one combination):
3/4 cup each chopped toasted blanched almonds and dried cherries
3/4 cup each chopped dried apricots and pistachios
1 cup chopped toasted blanched almonds plus 1/2 cup chopped candied orange peel
1/2 cup each chopped white chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, and dried cherries
1/2 cup each chopped dried papaya, macadamia nuts, and shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped dried cranberries plus 1/2 cup chopped candied orange peel
1/2 cup each chopped semisweet chocolate, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries
3/4 cup each chopped candied citron and glaceed cherries
1 cup chopped toasted blanched almonds plus 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger
For Rolling:
1/2 cup sanding sugar or 1 1/2 cups ground toasted walnuts

Steps:

Once the flour is incorporated according to dough recipe, beat in the desired mix-in. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Shape each into a 10-inch log (or a 10-inch-long triangular, rectangular, or square-shaped log). Coat each in ground nuts or sanding sugar, if using. Wrap in parchment. Refrigerate until very firm, about 2 hours.
Slice dough crosswise slightly thicker than 1/8 inch. Reshape if needed. Bake at 350 degrees on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm, 12 to 14 minutes.
