Brush each log with egg white and roll in sugar.
Slice into 1/4" slices. Bake on parchment paper lined cookie sheet for 18 minutes.

These are so yummy, you better make a double batch.
Its also important that you use parchment paper or these little bugger will stick to the cookie sheet.

These also work great if you slice them a little smaller 1/8" and sandwich some seedless raspberry jam between them. (now were talking)
