1. Mix all ingredients except for the flour until well blended.
2. Mix in the flour.
3. Chill dough 3-4 hours (or overnight).
4. If you're in a time crunch you can chill dough for 1-2 hours in the freezer.
5. Roll dough into pencil-shaped rolls (about 1/4-1/3 inch thick).
6. Cut into 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces and drop onto ungreased baking sheet.
7. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes OR until lightly browned.
