wrap each roll in wax paper or plastic wrap -- , freeze, wrap each frozen dough in aluminum foil and again with these printed instructions.When I make them for gifts for friends.I like to overwrap the aluminum foil with fabric for the holidays --

store dough in refrigerator till ready to bake --
cut chilled dough into 1/4\" slices.place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes or edges are golden.
each roll makes about 3 dozen -- I cut mine a little thicker.so it will be less.grandchildren like to decorate these as well -- so grandma always includes colored sugars.
