- Shake on additional Yellow dog Sweet Shake and almonds - press gently into the log and slightly flatten the logs
- Bake at 325° for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices with a serrated knife using a gentle sawing motion, and place slices vertically on parchment-lined baking sheets.
