With processor running, add milk-honey mixture, and process until dough just begins to come together. (Dough will be stiff and dry, but will hold its shape when pressed together. If dough seems too dry, add up to 1 Tbs. more milk.)4. Roll out dough to 1/8- to 3/16-inch thickness between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Chill 1 hour, or until firm.5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut Cookies into desired shapes, and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing Cookies at least 1/2 inch apart. Bake
